Being from Minnesota originally, I have archery hunted corn fields since I was 12 and you nailed it on the head when you wrote about WIND!! Wind is key if you are stalking corn fields!! Deer have a hard time with scent(if you plan stalk correctly), hearing (won't hear much if you are downwind of deer) and sight (deer tend to not be able to focus in on you or your movement if the corn is moving all over the place) if it's windy!! On the downside, whitetails are usually a little nervy and super cautious when it's real windy!! I have stalked up on many deer in standing corn when it's been 20+ MPH wind!! You are right, it's an exciting way to hunt...Good luck!!
