It doesn't matter where you are, Texas, La., Ark. The best attractant that I have found that grows in any kind of conditions is OATS.

Maybe you could try some alfalfa. It has a very deep root system so it can pull moisture up from the subsoil.

I plant a mix of oats/rye/wheat and white ladino clover...in the fall when it starts getting cooler and raining...usually from mid Sept to mid Oct...the clover will last 4-5 years and the grasses pull them in for the fall hunt...
If you plant in the spring the root system doesn't grow deep enough to make it through the summer..
