I woke up this morning and went out to my garden before work to water my sexy little hop plants, a cascade, chinook, fuggle, and a nugget. To my dismay the only thing remaining were little scraps of mower debris. Apparetnly our new mower guy thought they were all weeds and weadwacked them. Any chance they will come up again?
Noooooooo!!!

They will come back up.

I wouldn't expect anything much to happen this year in terms of hops production. I'm sure the vines will come back, but not in full force this year... As long as the root below is still intact, you'll have better luck next year.

Yeah... next year. Same thing happened to one of my plants last year.

No, they will come back up this summer. Hops are highly doubtful but there will be shoots. I chop my down every spring from 12-24" to the ground to keep them from making it up to my roof and they always come back almost all the way to the roof. You must of just had bad luck with yours.

Fence them off. Talking to the new guy may work, then again it may not.

the only logical thing to do is use the weed whacker on his nads.

I was thinking a donkey punch to the nethers, but I like the way you think.
The other solution is to mow your own lawn

I think you may be confused as to the meaning of "donkey punch"

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. The lawn guy must be pretty or something...
And this is why I mow the lawn now. They hula hoed our early lettuce this spring and that was enough plus we have so much crap going on in our back yard now I couldn't expect the mower guy to know what to do.

Give him a six pack...
Pour the first one for him...
then when he discovers the other five are water tell him,
"ya I ran out of hops this year because you killed my plants..."
