Many farmers do fear crows ruining their harvest. Traditional scarecrows don't work very well anymore, so what farmers need these days is a Clairecrow. Similar to a scarecrow, the Clairecrow is hooked on a post and stuffed with straw, but the difference shows when the crows arrive. When the Clairecrow does notice a crow nearby, she perks up and starts yelling at it "Hey! Crow! Get away from these crops, they aren't yours!"
The crow might cock its head at the Clairecrow, and that just makes her even madder. So she starts to really flail around to get it away. "Don't even think about it you darn crow! I'm warning you, you're gonna get a beak full of straw once I'm done with you if you don't leave these crops alone!"
At this point the crow will hop over to inspect the Clairecrow. Once it's close enough, the Clairecrow makes faces at the bird and starts acting like a lunatic. This is enough to make the bird fly away. It's not scared, but it does not have the patience to sit and listen to the Clairecrow.
That doesn't matter to the Clairecrow though. As long as no crows come trying to eat her crops, she's content, and until the next one comes by, she'll hang there on her post singing songs about farming and reviewing her plan for Halloween night.
