Default RE: Food Plots for the Northeast

I have been experimenting with plot for the past few years. My FL ground is surrounded by hundreds of acres of corn and beans which can't really be beat but the key is finding something that is green to suppliment into the fall.I found the the Clover/Alfalfa/ Rape mixes to grow and get hammered the best even with the abundance of food.They are also very high protien sources during key times.Turnip greens got hit good but the deer didn't really seem to care much about the actual turnip so I won't plant those again. If you don't have any soy beans around and have a decent plot area I would highly recommend beans or "deer crack" asI like to call them, deer can't resist from whatI have observed. I should mention I have tested all plantings both from the fingerlakes region of NY, to my homerange of Malone in the extreme northern are of NY where growth is the tricky part
