Wheat and/or oats are usually a good option for a fall/winter plot. They are usually less expensive and a little more forgiving than some of the bag mixes. With a little research, you might find a good legume to mix with it. Some type of clover would be a good option if you get enough rainfall. Vetch is another option, and it is a pretty good companion for wheat/oat plantings. Deer will stay on them until they start to head out.

No suggestions for summer plots to keep things going year-round. Rainfall from May-September here is too hard to predict, and combined with hot weather, makes planting anything a gamble.
