I am in Michigan also and know there is a AMOUNT restrictions over a area I think 10 sq ft.
With that in mind shelled corn will fill a 2 gallon pail fuller than carrots, sugar beets and apples.
But there are things which people have found that work well. One guy I worked with used a Kraut cutter to slice all his sugar beets and carrots. More fit in the pail and he claimed the deer liked it that way better.
You live so close to Shelby town ship and Romeo where all those apple cider mills are. Stop in and see about getting the pulp that is left.
Corn sugar beets and carrots hold up the freezing better to. My neighbor has a feeder set up on a timer deer hear that thing go off and they start heading to it.
