I have a food plot currently in rye and crimson clover and (unfortunately) ryegrass. Most summers it gets a flush of dense volunteer ball clover. I want a field to dove hunt on. Sunflowers in the past required an e-fence that I’m unable to swing this year. I’m considering the following sequence: burn down with glyphosate, no-till plant sorghum with a 2-row planter, then broadcast brown top millet. Maybe burn strips just before the season. These species are selected because of deer browse pressure.
Alternative is not to plant anything and just disk, sow wheat late summer (in a legal fashion). This has provided decent dove shoots in the past.
Caveat: this will be a fall food plot this fall and we’ve been trying to stick to a throw and mow strategy.
