There is a big diffrence in your average food plot and your average corn feeder .

I can plant a plot in the fall and fertilize it and not return until December to hunt . If your are bating with corn you are constantly in and out refilling and deer learn that if they come at night they don't see you .. Not to mention that predators can key on the feeders , also its not Good incase of a disease outbreak . And not to mention it takes the sport out of hunting . I don't like hunting green fields all the time , I enjoy watching the deer in the fields and I like taking kids to sit on them i like providing the nutrition for the deer. But I enjoy hunting the most when I'm scouting liking for rubs and large tracks and trying to figure out where that buck beds . I have found myself using cameras less and less too, it takes the fun out of the hunt . Plus I found myself stinking up the woods just to check a camera .
