I actually did this, it went okay. I got some corn, but unfortunately for the best germination you need a pretty large field due to corn being wind pollinated.
I used maybe a 7×7 ft plot, so definently go bigger than that.
I grow corn every year and while you’re right it does wind pollinate, you can help it along and hand pollinate. I grow in a 3x5 raised bed and have great success now that I hand pollinate them. I’ve even grown a single stalk of corn in a pot before, far away from other corn, and got a few ears off it.

If I try small plot corn again I will give it more vigorous handjobs
The history nerd in me wants to suggest Three Sisters , but I have no idea how to go about it or if it would acutally work for your situation.
Three sister’s doesn’t fix the pollination issues, but of course as we see they do grow well together
