We used to bring a truck to the corn patch and sleep in the back with the dog.  Dog kept the critters away. Worked pretty well, but a bit uncomfortable.

Well, I have a question.  How are folks keeping raccoons out of their sweet corn, particularly fencewise?  I read an article that recommended two wires at 6 and 12" from the ground.  Are two necessary?  I have late planted corn that is about two weeks away from being ready.  Anyone use dog hair on the ground with success?

Thanks

We live in NW Missouri and have a lot of raccoons.  Most of us use
three or four wires. - mac
