What is you DPSM? Forage beans wont have much for pods which are a great winter food source. Ag beans work great and give the deer pods for the winter.Plus they are much cheaper. You can also broadcast winter rye and or wheat into them as soon as they start to turn yellow which also gives them an added food in the beans. Do you have have any clover plots? I would consider clover also. The more food choices you give them the longer they will stick around. You need to think food for 12 months. Brassica's are also a good choice PTT,Daikon Radish,DER is a great combo. Peas,Oats and Crimson Clover planted together is another good choice. Remember the BIG picture when planting food plots..Deer need food all year long. Not just when your hunting them.Never plant rye grass.I cant express this strong enough. Rye grain is what you want. Most throw in grows have rye grass which will take over your plot..Go to your local mill buy your seed there and forget those over priced buck on the bag blends. As suggested above go to the QDMA Forum and check it out..Tons of great info on food plots and habitat improvement.
