Corn

This grain is one of the best crops you can plant for deer, and perhaps one of the most frustrating to grow. 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.
