Default RE: First food plot

Hi guys. I am also putting in my first plot, primarily for waterfowl then later for deer. I am seeding corn, soybeans, and Japanese millet. Of course I have limited funds and equipment. The place I'm using is an unused portion of our backyard. ( it's a large yard). I mowed down tall grass and weeds with a riding mower. Then talked to a local farmer about plowing and discing. He agreed but he is also busy with his farm and markets. Since I talked to him we have received almost 2 inches of rain. It has rained every day for a week. I am wondering if I rented/ borrowed a large roto tiller and beat the crap out of the ground up to 6 inches or more deep, then plant- will that do well? I am really not into high yield or looks. Just want to get something to grow to attract geese and deer. Am I crazy or would this work??? Thanks!
