I'm wondering what has completely stripped in a few hours, probably overnight, my complete sweetcorn crop.

I think it can only be a fox or Muntjac as there are no larger animals in this area (south Lincolnshire) that I know of.

There is trampling underfoot and the surprising thing is that some of the stalks Have been chewed more than five feet above the ground. Could either animal cause damage so high up?

Badgers? They do that sort of damage down here, flattening field-grown
maize crops intended for silage. An area several metres in diameter
flattened, with partially eaten cobs lying around.

I'd go with badgers as well, they did that to a crop of sweetcorn I grew
several years ago
