First, soybeans are easier to plant than corn. You could plant 4 bu of sb on your 2 acres with your pto spreader and then till them in about 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep. You could use a "Roundup Ready" variety of sb and then spray over the top with Roundup for weed controll. The sb would cost about $25 for a 50 lb bag, 3 to 4 bags would do the job. The sb will be most attractive to the deer at the smallest stage of growth [early June] and less attractive as they mature. They would not in my opinion provide as an effective a food plot at maturity as corn. But sb do not require nitrogen to be applied as fertilizer and are cheaper to grow. If you are looking for an effective food plot for hunting season than corn is the way to go. The idea of altenating food plot is good. Corn is availabe in "Roundup ready" varieties and costs about $90 bag that would plant 3 to 5 acres. Corn is more difficult to plant and would require an actual row type planter and nitrogen applied after emergence. If your plot is in an agricultural area you could possibly find a local farmer to plant the plot for you.
