Default unique management situation

I am facing a somewhat unusual management situation. My work is going to be bringing me back into the area of the family farm. This land, in my opinion has excellent potential to become prime habitat. In the past few years i have been able to hunt 5 or six days, now however, i will be on out of town for 3 weeks and home for 3 week. I have an idea for my management plan, but my question is this: it is possible, even likely that I will only be in the area for 2 years, I am the only one with an intrest in managing the land so i need a crop/forage, that will not be an eye sore when I am gone and the family that lives there is just mowing regularly.

I call it a farm, but it is not really farmed any more.

I was thinking a clover-orchardgrass mixture, heavy on the clover.
I realize there are many more nutricious options, but i need somthing that will be ok if/when i leave again.

To summarize my question; what crop combination would be best to leave an asthetically acceptable field if I have to leave?

Thanks
