I left one field of corn unpicked one year. Had to pick it when the ducks and geese got in there one day in mid December. Must have been 10,000 birds in there. Price was pretty low but better than no return. I left the corn around the pond unpicked for the geese anyway. I have a friend back east on the Eastern Shore of Md who's 15 yr old son has about 10 acres of corn to pick. Sells it to the deer hunters as "deer corn". Something just seems wrong with that! We called it baiting...but we never did it for deer...just ducks and geese. LOL
