Growing corn and squirrels?

I want to grow corn in my backyard but we have a problem with squirrels eating our veggies. Is there anything i can do or put on or around the corn to make sure they don't decimate my crop? Thanks!

    The squirrels are very crafty when it comes to getting into corn. they will go over and under fences. I have tried just about everything. I've had to use netting over everything, add the sparkle ribbons, and keep a look out, and they've still gotten to some of the corn. The thing that worked the best was letting my dog lay in the sun next to the corn.

    Good luck. Squirrels are just rats with fluffy tails. Maybe a pellet gun?
