Minnesota | You could calculate out what each plant raises so average out how many plants per acre using 1/1000 stand counts are knocked down. 32,000 plants with 18x32 cob makes 205 bushel corn. For every 500 plant lost in stand count = 3 bushels is lost for 18x32 cobs. Now I know you don't know your cob dimensions yet but gotta guess to realize potential yield loss.
Final economics of it 3 bushels lost x joyful $3 maybe $4 corn soon = ~$10 lost if you took out 500 plants an acre now that would take a lot to do lots of snapping tops and running over. Bigger the implement width less acres can be ran over.
275 feet is 500 plants so that's a lot of run down corn.
