Buy seed corn or don't waste your time. Get a soil test and tell them what you want to grow, or don't waste your time. 1 stalk of corn will require 50 gallons of water to reach maturity. make sure you get enough rainfall.

They are high nitrogen feeders, but there may be lime needed as many micronutrients also, boron, magnesium etc. Do you know a local grower? ask for help, or just plant a food plot.

Corn will bring them in during the season, but it wont help you grow your deer when they need the nutrition the most, late winter, spring ans summer.
