There is no universal answer for every set-up. We need some specifics of the land you are hunting. Height, direction, type of tree, vegetation density, topography all play into it. Tell us more.
I have a half acre of clover and another half acre of brassica. they are both right next to each other and my woods is facing out towards them north bound.
I think we need a little more info than that. Where is their water source and bedding areas? Are there hills and vallies any where near and any other info you can give? are the food plots in a valley, hill or level with the woods. This is really important, have you located any trails in and out yet? All of this plays into the set up from what I have learned from guys on here. Listen to them. They know what they are doing.
In general terms, you place your tree stand at the most strategic spot you think it's going to give you the best chance to kill the deer of your choice... Oftentimes, that's somewhere between their bedding and feeding areas. If the bedding area is deeper in the woods, you may want to position your stand closer to that bedding area as you may not have enough light left by the time the deer reach their feeding area. Sometimes (as often is the case where I hunt), the deer bed extremely close to their food sources and you have to be very judicious and cautious on contemplating how far into the woods you should go to hang your stand... Try to pick a tree that'll offer good background cover and allow you to move slightly and/or draw without being picked off. Sometimes that means hanging your stand on the BACK side of the tree from the direction you expect the deer to come from, and it will definitely mean that you shouldn't get a particular number as far as height stuck in your head as to how high you should hang your stand; I killed my largest deer to date a mere 12' off the ground because that's where the cover was.
