I think its normal for the most part. I have been seeing deer in bean fields in my area mid-day as well. I hope you have permission to hunt that field. Would be interesting to get a set up on coyotes in that field.
Deer activity
My new house looks over a large bean field. I have been up since daylight and didn't see a deer till after 9. Then a group at 10 and 2 shooters at 11. Think it's the time of year or are we really missing the best time of mid day the way most people hunt morning and evening? I have seen a lot of good bucks move mid day but never shot one. These are almost all bucks I have been seeing very few does during the day most are late evening.this picture is after 11 of a big Nontypical.

I check the Moon Phases with my Game Cams and what my Cams say and create these Graphs with my computer. There are 10 categories on this graph so almost 3000 Pix's / 10 = average 30 per category of the phase, so the graphs show when deer get hungry. I usually use the data/time of the 1st pix of the deer because some eat hours LOL
Each category of the phase is 3 days each (30 day month / 10 = 3 days)
then I added the July Month with the graphs
and I believe what HazelVilleBuck said

yep, those ol pesky major and minor movement periods are just lucky guesses
Nothing in the deer woods seems to be absolute, but to say the moon has zero effect on deer movements is at best very stupid.
2 things....
1. Evidently, based on the rules of MWT moon phase does impact movement.
2. 10% more movement is insignificant.
