LOL. That's nothing! If the corn looked like that here we would NOT replant it. As long as you planted it deeper than 1.5" the growing point (5-6 leaf) should still be underground. Sometimes frosted corn doesn't do too bad. Now if you have a stand reduction, that's a completely different story. If you dig it up in a day or two it will be brown instead of white if it's dead.

It does stress it and it's hard to push the new growth through the dead tissue. "Here" if you replanted that you would lose yield because you have a later planting date so that's why I say we would leave it. Down south, I don't know how that all works in regards to planting date.
