Next time, leave a corn row or two out for some light to get in underneath Or bend a row or two down towards the ground. most stalks will stay growing and you will get more light in the canopy.

I was thinking a 36" row planter would be ideal for this situation too!

I am seriously thinking of trying MOBucks approach of leaving some rows of beans in the corn and driving over the beans with the seeder since our deer will pound the beans in no time.

Shooting lanes, trace lanes, or weed patches, they still work. I cut cross trails through the outer rows of corn to control movement out of the woods and through the corn . This year I intentionally did NOT cut the cross trails any further into the interior of the plot, hoping to force deer or bucks to spend more time in the plot. I also use a piece of cement wire to block deer from using the headlands on the far end of the field.

Dang spell check. Travel lanes, not trace lanes.

I cut the cross trails through the first two sections of corn on the right. There is no cross trail in the next two sections. About 75 feet of cement wire barrier is in the first rows of corn and the two rows of beans at the far end of the field by the wind break. These keeps them from crossing the field at that end.

My corn a bit wimpy this year. Got cobs but they're small. Broadcasted brassicas in August and they look pretty good.
