Hey everyone, been stalking around here for a little bit. I'm a novice food plotter.
1 of the spots I hunt is a 40 acre pasture field, but it's surrounded by timber on 3 sides. 1 side is a "hunt club" that primarily gun hunts.
So dad's pasture has a brush hog on it, and an aerator for knifing up the soil. I mowed, sprayed, and aerated about 2 acres 2 weeks ago. Got it tore up enough, and planted some of this.

Did a smaller version last year and was able to pull quite a few deer out of a CRP field from the hunt club, and into my plot.
I don't own the land, and the entire pasture field gets brush hogged by the owner multiple times a year. I'd love to get some switchgrass going on it, but we'll have to use it as a process.
I don't have a ton of useage or huge deer numbers in it, but hopefully things grow.
I kept part of the plot open to plant some cereal/browse grains in early september. I want it to be palatable when we open up the last week of september. Any great ideas on what to plant? I'm open to trying something new.
