It' a little to late to plant in Northern New York. I have been up in the Buffalo area hunting. Wonderful country! In that area I would suggest to start your planting in early August. I have a friend that has start his plantings the first week of August and he has even started his plantings has early as the last week in July. The mixture he likes to plant is a wheat, ryegrass, clover, peas, oats, and turnips. He has had really good results with this mixture. He purchases it from mikeswildlifefeedersandsupplies.com.
