whole corn works well and may be cheaper.

Maybe, but the nice thing about these pellets are that the raccoons don't seem to care for them. I'm concerned the corn might attract other unwanted critters. Funny thing is, before I had the feeder I was keeping a large Rubbermaid tub full of these pellets on my patio (throwing a scoop out by hand every now and then for the deer). My wife actually watched a doe come up onto the patio and try to knock the lid off of the tub with her nose because she could smell the pellets!

Ah. See we don't mind the coons coming to the feeder. It makes them nice and fat once furbearer season rolls around.

Well, in certain states (like California) the answer is yes and no. It depends on what you have planted and whether or not you have a depredation permit. I thought about planting a food plot but then I would have to invest in a tractor, test the soil, add various nutrients, plant the crops, try to keep the weeds out, and pray for sufficient rain. Buying a feeder and adding pellets is SO much easier...

Hey that's a good buy. I might have to get one to feed my chickens their scratch.
