Looking for small fall plot options. We have 15 acres of corn, so im looking for a small field attractant. Ive used wheat, cereal and oats. Is there something better. Probably 6 to 7 acres total in .5 to 2 acre fields

It's a pain and finicky but they sure love alfalfa.

Can't beat a small plot of a cereal grain plus clover plus brassica
Like mega said;
70 lbs Cereal rye or wheat plus 1 lbs annual clover, 1 lbs turnips and 2 lbs radishes per acre planted late august.
Easy, dependable provides food a various points thru winter and helps hold the soil

I have planted brassicas with wheat and it seems that the wheat snuff out the brassicas

gotta plant the brassicas early (like end of Aug) for them to really jump by Nov.
in a perfect world, I'd plant just the brassicas 3rd week of Aug, then come back and drill in the wheat/rye/ etc and clover end of Sept. But that's too much work, so I just plant everything right before a rain end of Aug/ 1st of Sept, and am prepared to come back in and drill wheat in mid Oct if there is no rain at all in Sept and it failed.
Sounds like good advice. I am in the market for a no-till drill. I usually broadcast everything

Any winter green (wheat, rye, etc.) along with turnips and the clover of your choice has always worked for me without fail. Just sew and mow along with a little triple 13. The wheat I planted last August is now knee to waist high and I plan on mowing that down when it dries more. Sometimes it comes back but I always sew a few hundred pounds anyways.
