It requires more maintenance and soil prep than other choices however when mature, the attractiveness and utilization by deer is extremely high. Be prepared to address weeds and non-target animals raiding your field, especially with varieties of sweet corn. Several species of roundup ready corn are sold and should be considered. A soil test and proper planting equipment is a necessity. Corn requires a significant amount of fertilizer and can drain your soil of nutrients. Still, it makes a great addition to any plot program since it can provide vital carbohydrates for late fall and winter nutrition. |
