The land features a mix of irrigated and dryland agriculture, including wheat, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, and grain sorghum. This consistent crop production not only supports the excellent genetics of whitetail deer but also provides an abundance of food and cover, allowing wildlife to thrive. After feeding, deer often relocate to thick plum thickets or pockets of timber, making the area a prime hunting destination.
