with the added advantage that a spectacle such as a littlefatwino in  
your
field might just scare off the various ravenoo-ers, government people  
and
other beaurocratic undesireables.

But every scarecrow needs a cowardly lion, so perhaps you need a  
Reign-er
(king of the forest?) in the field as well...  that would at least  
scare off
young girls and serious winedrinkers.
