An image for an agricultural article. A lush field of sweet corn bathed in morning light, leaves shining with dew. Nearby, we see cleverly rigged non-lethal traps and deterrents designed to protect the crops. Elevated wire meshes encircle promising stalks of corn, while loosely hung tin cans rustle in the wind acting as a sound scare. Scarecrows stand imposingly amongst the crops, appearing as silent guardians. A couple of curious raccoons are seen at the edge of the field, hesitating in their tracks as they gauge their approach.
