NutriCrave Corn was a seed product from Real World, sold to dealers rather than individual consumers at first, developed as a deer corn with higher protein, fat, and calcium than typical field corn. Don and Terry reported deer strongly preferring it over neighboring standard corn, high yields on test plots, and calorie content Don’s testing put at more than double, and in one figure 225% higher, than regular field corn. It was later paired with Maximizer Plus mineral in a NutriCrave Deer Block.
