i would steer away from the fields and go into the hardwoods and find a good clearing or good spot near a creek or watersource and make a food plot about 2-3 acres and harrow it and plant corn in it but leave a good 2-3 tractor passes to save for some biologic type seed...any local seed mix with peas rye clover. soybeans...you get the idea...i prefer to use a seed blend called buck busters...we have had a huge increse in deer numbers during the season with this rather than anything else...we have seed up to about 14 deer in 2 acres of the corn with the buck busters mix...if you cant get a clearing in hardwoods...go to a secluded area of the feild and do the same....you wont see nearly the results as in the hardwoods though...dont plant the hole field unless you are a meat hunter...otherwise the bucks will go nocturnal
