Southwest Michigan | We also have some fields that will never be in beans again. Corn after corn, is the only way to be able to harvest anything. Deer now graze corn and also never leave the field. We were also told if we didn’t shoot, no insurance money for deer damage.
I have a area about 10 miles away from the home farm with 85ish acres all smaller fields but mostly just broken up by tree lines and a road, we shot deer this summer, but never slowed them down, normally 30-35 bpa(normal deer pressure). It was less than 10 bpa this year, because of deer. It will not be planted to beans again. I will take the corn on corn hit. The deer keep getting worse. The land owner was so proud that he helped by shooting 2 bucks. I just laughed at him and walked away.
I would set rental rate at what you think you can make with corn after corn and adjust from there. | |

Soybeans- How much deer pressure is too much?
