Kind of an odd way of going about trying to fix the situation - with $6 corn a person can go 1/2 a header width and get some corn out even it it's thin. 50 bu corn (probably more?) on 5 acres at $6 is $1500 and the spray company ain't gonna help you on _those_ dollars for sure.
Mowing the stuff down first & then talking to the spray company doesn't give them much of a chance to observe the situation, they might be a little harder to deal with and wouldn't blame them. As well, you didn't give thm a chance to correct the problem back in July when it would have been observed and coulda done something about it, so wouldn't surprise me if they consider 1/2 the problem to be on you.
I had a similar thing many years ago, was done with the 70 acre field combining it before it sunk in that the coop missed spreading pre- and fert on 3 out of 20 rows across the whole field. I didn't bother saying anything since I figured it was on me to not notice it early on - my field, my crop, my responsibility to watch it. As well I was done harvesting so it was hard for them to do a yield check on those rows after the fact. Just chaulked it up to learning, and watch closer from then on, haven't had such problems since.
Not trying to pile on you, tough enough when things go wrong, just my humble opinion, I'd talk to them but not expect too much at this point? Maybe you get a discount on next year's application or something.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
