How can I keep raccoons from destroying my sweet corn crop just as it
comes ripe?  When we tried to plant some a couple of years ago, the
little critters got it all.  My wife has used this ever since as an
excuse not to plant corn (she prefers rutabaga, brussel sprouts, and
other yucchy stuff).

So, if you have a sure-fire method of dispersing the raccoons, please
let me know.  I'd prefer something non-poisonous (we have 2.5 kids) but
if worse comes to worse, I'll try anything (I REALLY like fresh corn).
