The more direct approach to planting something for the deer would be food plots with clover, rye, oats, and the like in it. That stuff doesn't require so much of a 'field' as a cleared patch of ground, and it's more specific and nutritious for the deer. Also, if you're feeling really ambitious, you could plant fruit trees on your property. Otherwise, just try to hunt the areas where the deer move through your land to the farmer's fields - nothing like getting the deer before they get to his property.
