What part of the country are you located in? Clover is great late spring, summer and fall. Low maintenance and will grow almost anywhere with little prep. We plant this along field edges. Deer love it and it's quieter to walk on then normal weeds. Help when slipping into stands. In colder climates brassica (rape) is great! Once it frosts it release a sweetness in the plant the deer love. Same with your tubers such as turnips. Oats are always a hit and grow well in low sunlight locations. Stay away from rye grass as it is extremely invasive. And I always plant a small 1/2 acre section with alfalfa. Do your research on what grows well in your climate and nutrition values. And if you have a local QDM co-op get with them and alot of times they can help you out with discounted seed. And if you are planting anything other than clover I would have a soil test done. This makes it a piece of cake when figuring out the right ratios of feeralizer and lime. Good luck!
