Hi Everybody!
I'd be grateful if you can help! The term is in a document on assessing hail damage on maize. It is for an insurance company.
The extract reads as follows:

"...if it should be necessary to postpone the assessment because of probable pig tailing, the stand damage determination must still be done as soon as possible"

Thank you all!
