There have been reports of raccoons damaging crops in the area. Hancock County OSU Extension Educator Ed Lentz said that raccoons don’t typically go for field corn.
Lentz said that you can protect your sweet corn with a low laying electric fence. He added that there isn’t much you can do to protect field corn. Not all hope is lost though. Lentz said that you can call for help if raccoons cause a lot of damage.
