Bags for deer corn

I am thinking about selling some of my ear corn to deer hunters this fall. ( I live in Michigan where putting out food for wildlife viewing or hunting is legal. ) While I would prefer to sell in bulk, I suspect I will have to put some in those stout clear plastic bags that you see with corn, carrots or apples. I don't know where to get them and it would be a little lame to ask at the feed store , since I will be their competition . Any sources?. Thanks

Is it just regular field corn or deer corn. Deer corn must have been inspected.

Inspected by whom, for what? "Deer Corn" is just a marketing term used for selling ear corn - of any type - in smaller quantities to people who want to lure in wildlife...

Not all corn can be called Deer corn because of a fungus that grows in it. It is inspected by the agriculture department to see if it has this type of fungus growing in it.

Never heard that and I've dealt with plenty grain going all over the U.S. But I would just sell it as Ear Corn or Game Corn because alot of other animals eat it besides Deer.

Old Vet is talking about Corn Smut.
