We are abundant with them here too. They do these to soybeans, not sure how the large operator who plants a 20 acre field behind my woodlot makes it work with beans. I see he did more beans than corn this year. They decimated this field, I have photos from earlier in the season.
Geese decimate corn if near the large pond here. There is a 30 acre field that is adjacent to this 20 acre pond and adjacent to my overgrown field. This was always a very productive field. Geese in recent times have ruined a planting of hay and the last year it was in corn, just decimated it. He stopped planting it, now in all kinds of weeds. The geese for some reason have either lost all their young for 2 years now or someone oiled the eggs. I think it's snapping turtles. Yours truly has released hatchlings over the years when I could get to a nest of their eggs that was not disturbed, skunks or some other animal gets every single nest unless it rains to wash off the scent. So, the corn crop may have a chance and you can get the depredation permit to kill 25 or 30 geese. If more than that need to get permission somehow.
The deer have an awful lot of browse and they like all the areas I keep cut that is always green, mostly grasses, with some weeds. If the area was just ag crops and little of anything else like it was years ago, they would be even more of a problem.
I'm not sure how this one local vegetable/farm stand does it every year with sweetcorn, they plant what looks like 10 acres, very little is disturbed. Unless sprayed with repellent, my sweet corn would not stand a chance.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
