I have a particular farm I hunt where the only crops on it are hay during the spring and summer and then Winter Wheat in Fall and Winter. It is around 275 AC. with 180-200 ac. cleared land. The deer absolutely love the winter wheat when it comes up but there is just so much of it the deer come out from every where. I can't really establish patterns. I am looking to plant some type of food plot bordering a couple small fields with the wheat. I am not sure what to plant though. The plot would probably be around an acre or so. I want something to maybe draw them in to a certain part of the farm that will go with the winter wheat. I am not sure what would compliment the wheat. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
For late season corn seems to pull deer away from any else we have here on my farms,my brother is having good luck with turnips on his ground.

I have good success with Buck Forage Oats and turnips. I also plant winter wheat but that is obviously not going to do you any good. Good luck.
As have I, I use plain field oats though. The oats were an all season draw and the turnips were after a few hard frosts. Most turnip seeds are gonna recommend planting 30 days prior to your average first frost. Not sure where in NC you are located, but a quick search on google shows that NC frost dates are mid to late Oct. That said, now is the perfect time to plant both turnips and oats. Good luck.
