I only raise sweet corn for my own use and to give away to friends and family. It's getting harder and harder to get it here in Eastern Tennessee due to the varmits. In my case, racoons, but there are other problem species as well. The first two runs of mine were excellent this year and the third just finished was about half due to the dry weather. As to the coons, they have somehow figured out the electric fence, and a couple (or three) wires around the patch is not sufficient. I've ended up running a wire about 6 inches off the ground and down each row. If I don't do that, they will take it all. My total patch is probably around 1000 ft of row in 50 ft rows.
