This is new territory for me (thinking ahead, that is) but one of the guys in our club and I were talking about taking one of the larger areas (well over an acre and maybe close to 2) that we didn't plant this fall and clearing it next spring and planting it in corn for the deer. This of course will depend greatly on the likelihood of flooding since our hunting area is inside the levee and in 2011 the river rose to the halfway point on the levee which put our whole property under water 12-15'. But then I got to wondering if corn would be the best crop for a summer crop. Would the deer like milo better? What about sunflowers? Which would be the least expensive and the most drought tolerant if we have another summer like this one? This is my first trek into planting food plots so I'm still learning.
