    Default shaded food plot

    i have just a small peice of bare ground about 50 feet long and 20 feet wide with 2 trees in the middle and a small one at the end. there is powerline about 100 -150 feet away. its all shaded what is the best thing to plant in it. there is about 50 acers of woods around it plus a creek were i cant hunt. there is a corn feild about 500 yards from this spot.
    i got discs and harrows thats all for my tractor or 4 wheeler if it gets fixed. but what is the best thing ot plant in it other than clover?

    plant sorghum with your corn at the powerline. they will start eatin the corn until the sorghum heads out then they'll eat both of them and the birds eat the sorghum too. oats would be something else good to plant with the corn
