There should be plenty of crops to start eating by then.
One reason I'm putting food and minerals out is because the nearest corn,soybean and summer wheat fields are over two miles away from one of my hunting spots. The deer look pretty thin compared to the ones I see near these crop areas, I'm trying to keep a few a little closer to my acsess points.
