I would have to say...NO!!

Here in Alabama--where baiting is illegal--you can hunt foodplots which could include standing corn. If the corn is mowed down--by man or machine--it is considered bating. We found this out just before season opener a few years back. We had planted five rows of corn on each side of one of our more productive greenfields. About a week before bow season, one of the guys went out and mowed it down. Luckily out of concern the club president contacted the local GW and met him out on our lease. He informed us that we could not hunt in or around the plot until ten days after the last kernel of corn was gone. The only gray area I have is if the corn was harvested.
