Turkeys love corn, but so do deer, squirrels, raccoons and a host of other critters. They have a lot of competition for the corn. So the patch should be large enough to feed everybody. Turkeys are also fond of clover and alfalfa and the bugs that live in those fields. You might think about that as an alternative. For one thing, you won't have to plant it every year.
