Was it an especially rainy season? Maybe the seeds washed away.
Harvester ants were my first thought upon reading as well. Something I knew nothing about my first season on the plains...now I seed extra for the ants. I also allow fairly benign plants like calendula, dill and carrots to drop so hopefully deter them from carrying off my intended lines.
Cute little box headed trouble makers. I'll take them over other variety of ants any day though!
