Fall Food plot plans?

We’re shredding this weekend, and getting everything prepped. Plan to plant my mix in a few weeks, and pray for rain. Going with wheat and a few bags of wildlife mix, and then top dress with clover, after I drag the bigger seeds in. Running late this year with my prep work, I’ll disc in some pelletized lime before planting. Once it starts to sprout, I’ll hit it with some fertilizer.

Sprayed last weekend and will shred and disk this weekend to get the seed bed ready. I was thinking of getting some seed thrown this weekend too, but it looks like everyone waits till Mid Sept to start planting.
I tried my first food plots last year and just as it started to take, all the rain came on flooded me out till this summer.
I picked up 2 bags of Super Buck Mix from my local hunting store (Native Outdoors) that has Wheat, Oats, Winter Peas, Clover and Rape in it. I also picked up a bag of just Winter peas. I have about 3 acres to plant.
I'm in Ellis County. Should I wait a couple of weekends to plant?

I need to get out and shred this week, my bigger and newer plot will need to be sprayed as well.
Gonna do a mix of plots but most will be plot spike oats(buck forage if I can get some local) and a mix of peas, clover and turnips. My deer really liked the dacon radishs and turnip greens last yr. They don't touch the actual turnips tho.

Got my plan finalized. Standard till and plant in the sanctuary. Going to try throw, roll, and spray method at my clearcut spot. I have some vessy/Johnson grass that is 6-8’ y’all so hopefully it will create a good seed bed. First time trying this method on a fall plot. Both of these spot are right at 2 acres each.
