I am planning on putting in this plot in middle GA middle of September. The plot is between 1/2 and 3/4 acre and is open with a few trees sattered in the middle. I was lokking for advice to see if this ratio was good for the acreage and if yall had any suggestions. thanks for any help

3 lb. patriot clover
1 lb. Chicory
3 lb. duranna clover
10 lb. Austrian Winter Peas
30 lb. Buck Forage Oats

Thats about double the clover than what you need. The rest sounds about right.

Does this ratio look better
2 lb. patriot
1 lb. Chicory
2 lb. duranna
5 lb. Austrian Winter Peas
20 lb. Buck Forage Oats

It sounds better on the clover end- but mixing several seed types is always problematic, its tough to know which ratios are best unless you try.

On their own (not mixed)

white clover = 6-8 lbs/acre
buck forage oats = 100 lbs/acre
chicory - 4-6 lbs/acre
austrian Winter peas = 70-80 lbs/acre

So - it all depends on what you want from your mix. 5 lbs of Austrian Winter peas/acre probably wound get you much - so you probably need more like 20-30 in the mix. Same amounts with the BFO - it will act more like an ediblenurse crop for the clovers.

You just don't want so much/acre of one seed that it Outcompetes the others, and they dye off.
