Looking for information on what is the best type of food plot seed. I currently have fields of corn, alfalfa/clover, wheat fields. next year will have more corn and soybean as well. Would like to add something for a food plot to keep the deer closer to home and draw them in for bow season for my daughter to hunt over. Any info would be appriciated

Its awful hard to compete with what you already have food wise. I would suggest improving the natural habitat instead of going for another food plot. You can fertilize the deer and turkeys favorite oak trees and any other food that they are eating like honeysuckle and blackberries. If you really want to add another foodplot, look into planting some clover in the woods under the canopy. Clover does pretty well almost anywhere you plant it, sun or shade.
