I've never ever planted a food plot for deer BUT I have done some research on the subject and after way TOO MUCH reading and asking some other folks in New Jersey and Pennsylvania who have planted food plots,,, I'm convinced that the Mossy Oak Bio-Logic products are probably your best bet.
Here's a link for further information on Regional planting,
here is where you'll find a good When/What to plant guide...
MossyOak Bio-Logic.
I LOVE their Logo "IF YOU PLANT IT, THEY WILL COME"
