The best I can tell you is they will use corn until it's cut, I would find the thickest part you have and then I would look for areas with any oak trees that are or have been dropping acorns.hunt those two areas and you should see deer.

As with just about anywhere that whitetail call home, don't neglect the edges. They are creatures who love the edges and breaks in the terrain. Not only edges like woods/crop fields, look for transition zones. Where pines meet the hardwoods, openings in the hardwoods, clear cuts, etc.. They find cover and food sources here and travel patterns can be pretty obvious sometimes. This time of year hunt the does and you should see the bucks. Good luck and let us know how you do.

If the fields have any tree lines check if there are game trails where they go through the tree lines. Also hunt the corner of the fields some times the farmers have a hard time to make sharper turns and food is left over in the corners of corn/soy bean fields. Depending on how big the fields are and how long you can see you'll probably need nice optics.
Good luck
