Turkey Creek

Contemplating putting in some type of early Spring food plot prior to soybeans this year. Right now the one area is just fallow weeds, the other is hay ground. So not a lot if any thing for the deer to browse on until something is planted there. Some people will argue that Spring greenup should provide a lot of natural browse and I am sure that is true, but like I said the areas that will becoming foodplots have nothing to offer the deer currently. Looking at a mix of Spring Peas, Common Vetch, Spring Oats, Rapeseed and Crimson clover. Thought of maybe going in and planting the bigger seeded varieties and subsequently broadcasting the oats and clover over the top on the same day. All those varieties will germinate in the 40 degree area and are quick growers. Letting that mix grow until I plant beans. Going to frost seed a couple small clover plots at the same time so maybe that will help with the pressure on those as they start to germinate and grow. Thoughts on the whole idea or different varieties to consider?
