i live in wisconsin the best and most prolific plots around here are sugar beets
Depends on when you can plant it, when you want to hunt it, and what you're able to invest in it. The simplest is the rip-up-the-ground/stuff-some-seeds-in prepackaged bags of roundup-ready crops. Till, plant, spray, and you'll have food for the critters within weeks. In my opinion however, you can't go wrong with winter wheat as a cover crop for the perennial clover/alfalfa/legume mixes. These will last you for several years with only occasional mowing thereafter for maintenance. If you want a near-instant food plot that you'll need to replant each year, beets and brassicas can't be, well, beat. If you've got nothing but time, 2 acres of really good standing corn is a magnet into January.
They both sound like good answers i"ll pick one next spring.
