Corn-Deer Food Plot Crops and Seeds
Everybody knows that Whitetail Deer love corn! Corn is especially attractive to deer in the hart of the winter, when everything else is dead or dormant, corn is still available and and is packed with carbohydrates. I realize that many of you know this all ready but I must state it again to be sure. Corn is not a great year round food for deer. It offers little food value to the herd with regard to nutrients. It’s best attribute is that deer can make it through the end of rough winters by eating corn. I use this analogy all the time, that a biologist friend of mind said to me many years ago, “Feeding deer corn is like giving a starving person a candy bar. It will keep them alive but you don’t want it to be the primary food source.”
The nice thing about corn is that it is an abondant cash crop, so it is everywhere. Many times if you search around you can find corn seed that is left over. You may even be able to get it a very low price if not for free. Which is great for people like us that want a cheap deer food plot.
I don’t feel the need to talk much about corn as a plant because everyone is familiar with corn and there are volumes of information on growing it. Idealy, your food plot should contain other crops in it to maintain the herd through the spring, summer and fall and the deer will not depend on the corn until they have to. This time of year happens to be when most hunting is accuring, so corn can be a vital resource for late season stands and blinds.

Whitetail Deer Food Plots-Our Mission Statement
Hello and welcome to Whitetail Deer Food Plots. This site is dedicated to providing unique content on the planting and growing and maintaining your own deer food plot. We will be targeting food plots for Whitetail deer specifically. We will look at the optimum deer food seeds to plant, depending on your local climate along with information and techniques that will be useful in the farming and agricultural aspects of deer food plots.
We will also do our best to get you information on the finest products pertaining to food plots and I will also try very hard to negotiate with seed producers and other product distributors to bring the lowest and best prices for our customers here at this site. If we can get a large enough following here, it displays a powerful bargaining chip to deal with all of the outdoor product distributors. I truly believe if your webmaster, me, is not just trying to get the highest profit margins possible, he can in turn get great deals for his customers. In other words, if I am not greedy, you will get more value on my site and you will come back and also tell your friends. I believe that food plots can be unique to you and your local environment. Meaning, that they are not just a 5 acre plot that has all the seeds imaginable and that you have to have a big tractor and spreader and all of the unlimited resources at hand, that many of the authors have, that write and report on these massive food plotstracts. This will not all happen overnight but I pledge to do my best to bing it to you.
