I always plant sunflowers at the edge of the corn patches.  I noticed the 
thrice cursed crows would only destroy the outer rows of corn and I guessed 
this is because they don't want to feel confined.  Sure enough, if the ends 
of the field are in a tight triple row of sunflowers, the crows will not go 
into the corn.
