This is a natural phenomenon due to rain and problem with stems.
The book documented detrimental effects of pesticides on the environment,
“Having high N levels in combination with good water supply early in the crop’s life is a recipe for high lodging risk, although there are several other agronomic factors that increase lodging risk as well,

Wheat paid
The wind slept part of the culture, weakened by excess nutrient nitrogen in the peat.
Kerzers, Freiburg, late June.
"By its high nutrient, peat is unsuitable for growing wheat and barley. But crop rotation, sometimes requires."

It looks very much like wind lodging to me. Plants need a correct balance of nitrogen, potassium and silica for rigidness of cell wall and stems. When they grow too tall with the wrong nutrient balance, they are more likely to lodge with strong winds. Maybe the pattern we're seeing is just an unbalance of nutrients in the soil. Wind lodging is pretty common to happen.
