My opinion - File an ASR for your own protection whenever something like this happens.
Filed it as soon as I saw your post. Thanks for the advice

If you get a chance maybe send a thank you to the farmer whose crops you had to damage. It’s not a lot but it is his livelihood. People sometimes forget that.
Would love to if I could figure out who owns the land. Nearest houses on our way out looked to be abandoned. Absolutely huge farm, and I was a bit concerned about going door to door in the middle of a pandemic (turns out I tested positive for Covid the following day). Would like to pay for the crops I damaged, as I mentioned in the video. I'm thinking I owe them for a few bushels of soybeans.
