By Jeanine Davis

Birds can wreck havoc on a field of sweet corn and control methods are limited, especially for organic farmers.

Since this could provide valuable information for North Carolina growers, too, I am posting a link to the survey here. If you are a sweet corn grower, whether you have experienced bird damage or not, please take five minutes to complete this online survey! Here is the link:
