buck wheat is a nice addition to food plots, cheap, grows like a weed, and keeps soil nice for next time!

Canola is nice too, but think it needs more care and fert and such!?

the name of the game in making your land the best it can be for keeping deer on it all yr is, having PRIME FOOD ALL YR,
corn and beans, have peak times, both OK when first growing, then they don't draw as much,a s better things are out there, come fall when beans and corn are still standing and everything else isn;t green any more, they are huge draws

spring time and MID season, is where things like clover, chicory, hold there own, as there first to green up, you can MOW and make them even better for deer's liking's mid summer and such

I used to do 16 acres of plots and tried about it all, YOUR deer will tell you what they like best if you plant smaller plots of MANY different things, and see what draws them most and at WHAT time of yr it does

for hunting season, Brassicia's /turnips/rape have always been solid for me in many
parts of PA.
I however have never had much luck with Oats of any name brand !, deer here just didn;t seem to care much for them!

Food Plotting is again, a trial an error thing at times, and its about having PRIME food all seasons and months of the yr
JUST BIG plots of one or two things, doesn't always work the best!
better then nothing, but if you watch deer throughout the seasons, you will see they migrate to best foods , but always come back to corn and beans come snow! LOL
