[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 432633, member: 2882"] I'm pretty sure it was sweet corn, because one article said that sweet corn sales made up about one third of their [i]farmer's market[/i] income.. More importantly to me is that the birds don't come to eat the corn.. The birds come to eat the bugs -- the ear worms, more specifically -- that are already in the corn, and they just so happen to pick at the kernels while they're hanging on the ear. Take care of the worms, and you'll take care of the birds.. Birds are not going to cling precariously to an ear of tightly husked corn and pick at it until they can get to the kernels -- there's easier food out there. Somehow, I doubt very seriously that the propane cannon scares off the worms.. :lol: Which means they're basically scaring off the birds so the worms can eat the corn without being hassled.. I just don't see the point in that.. I mean, either way, they're probably not going to be able to sell that corn... That's why I'm tending toward this not really being about scaring away birds or protecting sweet corn.. I'm inclined to believe it's about pissing off neighbors.. [/QUOTE]
