I got some of this from the Co-Op In Clarksville a couple weeks ago. Starting to come up nicely.

Rye hands down. Fool proof. I am not talking about rye grass. Cereal grain rye.

They say it will grow on concrete darn near. Best frost tolerant.

Go on youtube and do a search on "Whitetail Habitat Solutions" or "rye for deer" and watch some of those videos

Here is the plus. 50 lbs of seed runs about $18 a bag.

Rye grass does nothing for your soil or the deer. No till is the best way to go. If you have access to a no till drill I would spray the area with glyphosate and then drill in clover, cereal rye (different from rye grass), and oats. If you don't have a no till drill spray the area with glyphosate, shred the grass/brush, spray again if needed in a week, broadcast clover into the thatch and let rain push the seed in the soil or roll the thatch so seed is at the right depth.

Oats,Wheat and Elbon Rye.

That's the mix I mostly planted in my 1 acre plot. Then did some clover and peas in some of the areas. I did plant one area of purple top turnips and radishes to see how they would do.

We plant perennial clovers and throw-n-grow in Hopkins county, with decent results.

This past weekend I planted a mix of oats, wheat, cereal rye, winter peas, purple top turnip, and daikon radish

You're going to love what the daikon radish will do for your organic matter in your soil.
