Too windy and the corn was high.  I should have aborted, but went ahead and lost it in the cornfield.  I looked for about a half hour...should have looked longer and asked for help.  Received a call from METRA president who found the rocket.  He rightfully chewed me out a bit about losing the rocket since he found it relatively easily.  He expressed how much damage a rocket can do to farming equipment.  A lesson well-learned... thank you Randy.
