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.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help with a bird problem. Last season I
planted Zia Maze and the crows dug up and ate just about every seed. I am
considering using bird netting to keep them off the planting area until the
corn is a couple inches high. Problem is the mesh is expensive and time
consuming to manage. I know there are products to treat the seed to make it
unpalatable but I wonder how that would effect whether I could call the crop
organic and how the treatment would affect the soil and crop biology. Any
ideas?

Cheers!
