Steve=Two years ago I was running my lawn mower through a 14 month old standing corn field. I was mowing some clover that I had scattered in it the fall before and ran over a fawn
These corn fields in their second year function as great cover (and feed).
do you have any comments on managing a year old corn field as a doe bedding area? Open up areas in it and mow them??
Do they function like a switch grass stand for part of that first year and do you modify the switch for deer bedding?
I will have a 3 acre year old corn field by my driveway-the same one where I ran over the fawn, two years back. There is one flooded out area in it. I might go in there and plant rye, maybe a few radishes/ptt if it dries out. Or should it be left to weeds, or managed for grass in that open area?
