Flea Beetle on Brassicas

I have had issues with flea beetle in the KG this year and the brassicas have been pretty badly affected, one of my biggest concerns is that the leaves have become twisted. Does anyone have experience on this and is it likely to effect a good crop?
Thanks in advance

Afternoon Adam, flea beetle normally bite little holes in the leaves, until there is nothing left of the leaves!
When the leaves are twisted, it is normally down to grey aphids on the underside of the leaves….I normally just go over the plants and squash as many of them as I can.
As long as the plants haven’t been totally decimated, they should grow out of the attacks….
