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.
