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!
