MadSci Network: Agricultural Sciences |
Dear Brad I'm afraid I can't help you very much with this one as it's not really my area of expertise. Here's an article I found on the web that you might find interesting http://www.britannica.com/bcom/magazine/article/0,5744,330646,00.html . Personally I think it would be a better idea to encourage some (semi-)natural habitat on your property as opposed to deliberately planting a crop. That way you'll encourage insects, birds and small mammals as well as the charismatic deer and wild turkeys. Make sure you plant native plants. Best wishes, Yvonne
