Aw Tom, that is awful and looks so strange, with the leaves still green above them.
I looked at this link from omafra
http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/...cts/95-063.htm and they talk about two things that can make the leaves turn white - one is herbicide, the other is injury from pelting rain.
Could there be herbicide residue in the straw?
If so I don't know why Candy would be unaffected.
You may have to dig one up and cut it open to see if there's a neck rot or something of that nature that could explain it.
