No problem and you're free to post your feelings on those matters. I have personally contacted the NYS DEC by phone on three separate occasions and talked about food plots with threedifferent reps. It is illegal to "bait" for deer in NYS, but it is not illegal to organically grow food plots. There's plenty of information online to support this.

If you look at exception #1....it referencees "Agricultural crops INCLUDING WILDLIFE FOOD PLOTS."
