      This is my first try at growing corn out here in the woods . Raccoons   
   are about my biggest worry ... I THINK my electric/chicken wire fence   
   system will discourage them , but only time will tell . It's been   
   working pretty good for the other SFA's (small furry animals) , even up   
   to deer and the local bears .

   Get outta my woods !
