Get set up on one of those main trails you have found with wind in your favour. Other option would be to hunt field edge and use a deer decoy to bring them to where you want them.

Try to find a couple places to set stands to favor different wind directions between their bedding areas. This is the exact situation I hunt in central ohio cropland. Getting into the stand mid afternoon and hunting til dark. Sometimes will get stuck in stand for a while after dark until deer have moved on.

You need stiffer shafts so they can handle grenade tips

It must be tough to have your problem. Feed the needy. It sounds like you already have you evenings planed for next year.

Heres a little advice, you will not find those deer concentrations at any other time of the year except cold weather, you need to realize you may be drawing the deer from a long, long distance. My guess you got the only groceries the deer can approach in an undisturbed manor. The crop rotation for next year will likely be beans and next winter you may have zero deer this time . I have one farm that is truly feast or famine based on rotation. Average guy would not believe but a fact indeed. Also the change from november to january is the same way. I added my 2 cents because on year you have good hunting the next maybe zero!Dave

You might want to consider stand placements in the woods, over trails leading to and from the field. In the evenings, deer will sometimes move toward fields, but not move out into them until dark.

my brother-in-law has a place like you described.As recurve27128 say's,A crop rotation usually changes things.When I hunt up there when there is corn the deer are thick as fleas.When there is soy beans there is not so many.Afternoon hunts are the best.

Thanks for everyone for there advice. I think Biggie's was the best....."bring lots of arrows!". Also, for all those thinking "bombs" might to the trick, this tactic has already been accompished! Just picture a 5 gallon bucket packed with a few sticks of TNT, nuts, bolts, washers, and small rocks, buried under a cull pile of carrots! Not what I would call ethical, however, you can hardly blame the farmer, b/c he told me he lost over $50,000 last year to deer. Hopefully, I can do better this season.
