I'd look at the general area surrounding your property, and go with whats not alreadly available. If theres a field of clover nearby, why plant more clover, as a example.

In my area most of the fields next to me are alf and alsite clover. I then put in turnips, rape, birdsfoot, kale, and RED clover. I find the deer go for the red more so than the alsite in my area.

After the first frost the turnipsgot hit hard as well as the birdsfoot. The Kale, clover and alfthey eat all summer
