I planted my first food plots ever this year. Rackmaster S/S Mix. Planted in late May and by the middle of June the deer had eaten one of the plots to the ground. I fertilized in the middle of June, and that seemed to keep the deer off the plots somewhat. The plot they smoked actually came up great since then.

So here are the dumb questions:

1) I assume that stuff in my plots that is waist high and looks somewhat like corn is sorghum?

2) Are the shorter plants that have tiny white flowers the clay peas?

3) Are the bigger leafed plants the soybeans?

4) The deer are starting to nibble the edges of the plots again. I assume they will eat the plot to the ground again before the 9/11 archery opener. If so, what to do then? I'll be back out to my lease in early/mid August and could take whatever remedial action is necessary at that time...

Sorry for the dumb questions. Where I grew up in N. FL, we only grew tobacco and watermellons and the vegetable garden.
