Default What should I plant and how should I do it?

Well, here is the situation: My family bought 70 acres on top of a small mountain in Ny. There is 1 good field in the middle of the property I am thinking about putting a food source in for the deer. I will be cutting down a bunch of trees in the field. It is a 2 acre field, I probably will only be filling in about 1 acre. The field is not very flat, it has small ditches and water type bars in it. I would be tilling up the ground as much as possible with what everI could use (I have a quad and am hoping to get a tow behind tiller thing). I dont want to plant clover because I know it takes a good amount of maintaining and mowing and stuff. Im thinking soy beans (but not sure if it needs a lot of maintaining). Or maybe even corn..... So please give me any advice about what to plant and when and how to plant it. IM A NEWB . Thanks A lot guys!
Mike
