Corn certainly isn't bad for deer or turkey. They love it and it gives them lots of food even after it is picked or cut. It isn't the best for the soil though. Too many farmers aren't rotating their crops often enough around here and just dump more cow crap on it causing more phosphorous to leach into the lake. As far as the OP I would say it would be far easier to just lease the land to a hunter or group of hunters. To provide a retreat or cabin rental would mean multiple parties coming in over the seasons which would require much more work and probably not generate any more money than a $7,000.00 lease. Lease for a month and set some rules on game/ size limits...take it or leave it. Kansas is hot now and shouldn't have any problem with selling a lease.
