RE: Food plots
I have mixed corn and soybeans, but yields were reduced by doing so(esp. beans). I dont think the deer mind walking a few hundred yards to a different field if they are hungry for something, who knows- that might just be when you get your shot at them! I use to try to put the food right next to the cover, but I learned the hard way that moving deer is a good thing! With the amount of land you own/hunt, I would make them walk as much as possible.
