Stardew Valley Scarecrow Range and Layout
Layout / 8-tile normal radius, 16-tile Deluxe radius, 249 and 888 protected tiles
Regular Scarecrows and Rarecrows protect the same 8-tile radius, while Deluxe Scarecrows double that radius to 16 and cover 888 tiles. Ginger Island crops do not need scarecrows because there are no crows there.
Facts and route notes

Focus: 8-tile normal radius, 16-tile Deluxe radius, 249 and 888 protected tiles
Checklist: Use normal Scarecrows or Rarecrows for early fields after Farming level 1. Replace dense fields with Deluxe Scarecrow coverage once the recipe is unlocked. Do not waste scarecrow space on Ginger Island farm layouts.
