Living on the farm is a new experience for all of us – how can we make the most of the land for deer and turkey in the area?

There are production ag fields on the neighboring properties that will provide quality forage for deer and other wildlife species during the growing season until the crops are harvested.  Then there will likely be very little quality forage in the area.
I always start evaluating properties by identifying the best sources of food, cover, and water, in the neighborhood, especially during deer season.  It sounds like establishing some food plots that provide quality forage during the hunting season, especially after the crops are harvested in the neighborhood, would provide a great attraction for deer and other species of wildlife.
Based on what I know, that would be a good habitat improvement project!
