Setting up for the southern Wisconsin duck opening tomorrow.
One spot I hunt has a beaver cutting corn and making a feed lodge down river,  and the place is loaded with wood ducks.
Would that be considered baiting.?

Call the local CO and ask him.

What does your state wildlife regs say about baiting?  Don't think it's baiting, per se, because the corn wasn't put there by a human.  Still might be a concern for the game wardens.
Generally, it's a bad thing shooting duck with corn nearby, even if you didn't put it there.

WI Hunt Regulation: Refer to pg 25

The way I read it, it's more geared towards purposefully placing bait to attract by a person, I do not consider your scenario to be included. There is also reference that: it is legal to hunt over crops that have
been planted as a result of normal agricultural planting, normal agricultural harvest or fields post-harvest.

I think you are okay, but if you are concerned a call to the DNR would clear it up

Received a text this morning stating that it is an "act of god" and good luck.
As far as the hunt,  one of the worst openings ever.
Fog was so bad that I couldn't see the bow putting decoys out,  but did get a limit of woodys.
Probably saw 10, but heard dozens  
Fog didn't lift until 9:30
