If that field is going to have a primary food source for deer in it (soy, corn, etc)...be VERY happy. Deer from all over will flock to it, especially if there isn't a competing food source around.

As a matter of fact, I would keep in close contact with the farmer and find out when/if he plans on planting it and with what, in what sections. Some hunters have been known to "buy" a few rows of corn as a shooting buffer on the edge of the field for hunting a given fieldedge stand location.

Deer will significantly shift their patterns in the summer to feed all around that field and throughout the fall. But elements such as frost and the farmer harvesting can greatly influence another fall time shift away from it. Other preferred food sources, such as acorns, can also pull deer away from those fields during daylight hours. Many times deer will stage in oak groves before going out into the fields...great spot to hang a stand or two.

Also consider your approaches, especially going IN in the morning and coming OUT in the evening. Those bruisers won't tolerate the human presence at all, and will likely go nocturnal.

My recommendation is to skip the field edge entirely and get in the woods a little bit. Try to find a cutoff between the field (feeding) and where the deer are bedding. An oak grove between the two is prime picking as deer will leave their beds around dusk and by the time they get to the field it will be dark. If you are close to their beds in a secondary food source contained in a transition area...you are golden...especially for those mature bucks that hang back and don't want to expose themselves in the field.

Just plan your entrances and exits carefully...otherwise that golden stand can go cold after 1 or 2 hunts.

Good Luck and Shoot Straight!
