Default Risk of plots?

I have a 15 acre parcel of land with extensive habitat: 20 foot elevation change, marsh, timber, field, waterfront and heavy cover. I plan to really "set the table" next Spring with sunflowers, corn, beans then winter wheat behind the sunflowers, all but the sunflowers left standing; total 6 acres. Is it possible that by holding deer numbers up on my property, they'll destroy the understory of natural vegetation? We know they graze to and from the plots and when they rise from their beds. When I had a farmer till the field, the deer cycled onto the property during early growth, again following harvest, and late season for the natural browse. There were 6 deer in the field as I left this morning. Too much of a good thing? Thoughts?
