No wis_bow, food plots are not considered baiting within the guidlines of this new ban. It has to do with the size of the food source. Deer feeding on a large food plot are not as much of a concern as deer feeding on a small bait pile.

I guess this guy was planting and harvesting crops with the understanding that it would be sold as deer feed come hunting season. Not an uncommon practice. It is unfortunate for people like him that are directly affected by a ban like this.
