if you have the infrastructure and your scale is not acres upon acres
i would suggest transplants. it takes quite a bit of space but you
can get an early harvest and a higher price of your selling to
market. if thats unpalatable for you then noisemakers, flashing/
reflective things will reduce the seed loss.
