Default Arkansas food plots???????????????

I hunt in North Central Arkansas in Fulton county and planted my first food plot this fall. I planted a mixture that I got from the county co-op. It was mostly wheat, with a few oats and winter peas. The ground is fairly rocky and not very fertile. The weat came up fair and a few of the peas came up. I fertilized it with some nitrogen the day I planted it, but haven't since then. Also, I planted it in early Sept. Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be a good spring crop to plant in these conditions? Also, when should I try to plant my spring crop? What could I have done to make the wheat healthier? Any suggestions that you guys have would be greatly appreciated. I just want to try on focus on bringing more deer into the area and keeping them there throughout the year. Thanks again
