Slobby, check out this link for info on herbicides: http://www.qdma.com/articles/details.asp?id=12

QDMA has a lot of other great articles about Food Plots and other issues.

Cliff, btw clovers are nitrogen fixing plants. So I don't understand your point about lespadeza.

All the other suggestions are good; lespadeza (VA 70 and korean, avoid bicolor), all types of clovers, winter wheat, timothy grass (and other cool season grasses), vetch, turnips, corn, soybean, alfalfa, honeysuckle, don't forget other options like apple, plums, pears, chestnuts *they LOVE those and each tree makes about 500-800 lbs a year*, pecans, crabapples) ask your local biologist or ag. rep what works best in your area. Look for sales. I've got a nice batch of Biologic that I bought on clearance at Walmart last year. Also, in VA the local Ag office has free wildlife seed mixes each spring (about 10 pounds) for local landowners, check with your agency to see if they offer the same.
