It depends on a lot of factors. You need to ask yourself several questions, which includes: What food sources are around the property? Is food a limiting factor? If food is a limiting factor, what times of the year is it a limiting factor? If certain times of the year, forage is a limiting factor, what can be planted to make a difference? How many deer and other animals will be utilizing the plot? Will the plot be of sufficient size and produce sufficient quantities of forage to make a difference?

How you answer those questions will determine if planting a food plot will be worth your time and expense. I know food plots are the "in" thing in deer management right now, but a lot of people are spending time and money that doing them that aren't getting much of a return.
