Resistance to floodwater

Just wondering if anyone knows the duration time that crops such as corn, cotton, and beans can withstand water before dieing. I know what State says, but I wanted to here from people with first hand experience [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Pintail,
This really dependds on the water table for the land and how much rain and water has been on the land. If you get a good rain every three weeks you will be alright unless you planted your crops in the sand.
