No bears (yet) in our part of Michigan or roaming Tokyo, for that matter. My only concern here is the drying process. It's going to be ready to harvest during typhoon season or just after. This will be the biggest challenge, easily.

My boyfriend (a former farmer) grew regular corn for awhile (both as a farmer and a gardener), and I loved it, but eventually it got eaten by some combination of raccoons, skunks and a bear, and that was a bit discouraging. I'm very curious to hear how this turns out.
