Our house is pretty windy but it runs perpendicular to that fence behind the corn, so I’m really hoping that acts as enough of a wind break! If not then maybe next year I take over more of the front yard haha

Good, that fence should help a lot. If you see a storm or wind advisory in the forecast you may want to stake the corn to give the stalks some extra support.

At the end of the day it's an experiment. No matter what happens you'll have learned something valuable.
