ORIGINAL: mossbergman11/OH

would planting beans and corn together be smart?
Actually, yes. Corn and beans work well together as the beans have a tendency to use the corn as a trellice and work well together. However as a food source, corn sucks. It will attract deer but has a crude protein of 6%. Beans are better but can get devastated if you dont plant a big enough plot. Your first concern should be is it good for the herd.

brassicas are good also. as they mature and get frostbit, they will sweeten up and the protein level will increase. the deer will actually dig the roots, an onion shaped bulb out of the ground and consume them.

With an acre to plant - its really hard to beat clover for a year round plot.
It can handle serious foraging - and will continue to attract through hunting season.

Corn & Beans can be a good Idea - We experimented with skipping 4 rows with the corn planter and filling it in with soybeans - makes nice shooting lanes when they feed, but........ the neighbor had 40 acres of soybeans to take the pressure off our small 1-2 acre plots. A 1 acre corn or bean plot can get wiped out in a hurry if you don't have other attractive food sources really nearby.

Austrian Winter Peas works really well for us. We put out early September and once it starts to grow we have a plot that last untill the weather gets warm for use here.

Planting dates shown are ideal times - in some cases earlier & later plantings may also be possible. In drought prone areas or dry-land plantings, supplemental irrigation maybe be required. Some items may be grown outside their recommended zones based on local weather & soils. Call your local county extension agent for more information.
Here is a comprehensive list of goodies to plant. I still love iron clay peas though but they just wipe them out FAST!
