Bspencer -

We generally do not knock down the stalks. Mostly because we plant it so that the deer can use it in the Winter - when we get our normal snowfalls (100-150" per year avg). Sometimes standing corn is the only thing that we can count on tfor the deer to eat.

In past years when we've had "surplus" corn growing - we've brushhogged lanes - more for visability than anything. The corn on the ground was quickly found by turkeys, and it did seem the deer were on it sooner as well.Before you brushog or even knock down corn - be sure you understand yourlawsin your state. Some states would consider it baiting if you hunt over it.

This picture is from a couple years ago - some of you have seen it before:
