These were some suggestions:
If your raccoon problem is persistent, you can set live raccoon traps in your garden and release the animal at least three miles away (check local and state laws first). Raccoons will eat virtually anything; try fish-flavored dry cat food, chicken necks, ears of corn, or whole peanuts for bait.
To keep raccoons at a distance, try scattering blood meal around corn plants. Also try sprinkling wood ashes around your plants.
Grind up garlic, mix it with an equal portion of chili powder, and spread it around the garden. Frequent applications are needed.
You know what Raccoons can't steal right? Frozen meat in the freezer.
