Would you plant a food plot that visible from a public road?

Question
I have a property I hunt I have the ability to plant one acre of soybeans for a food plot I could plant three more acres but it would be highly visible from road so I’m trying to stick to just one acre . How many deer on average can one acre of soybeans support or what else would be a good food plot ? There is nothing withing miles except woods and thickets as far as agriculture a garden is as close as you can get.
Cody,
I think you are wise to not plant a food plot that’s visible from a public road! That’s simply inviting trouble!!
Eagle Seed forage soybeans have been tested by multiple universities to produce more forage than any other crop and a good stand will produce seven tons per acres. Deer can easily consume a ton per year. Deer will likely consume some native forage, etc., so on acre would support five to seven deer.
I don’t believe the extra forage is worth planting the acreage that’s visible from the road!
Enjoy creation,
