I myself just got a home mix planted that I use of Oats, Winter peas and Winter Wheat. Literally got the last seeds finished up just as the rain started falling. Hoping it turns out good. I know lots of people use clover but just curious what all types of different things you guys use.
 
I have 4 perennial clover plots that just get a Fall overseeding of winter wheat plus I did overseed chicory into some of the worst soil sites within the clover mainly where stumps were pulled, .2 plots of winter wheat and crimson clover with some volunteer buckwheat. 2 plots of purpletop turnips, seven top turnips, rape, and radishes. 1 plot of annual ryegrass and crimson clover. 1 plot of winter wheat, annual ryegrass, and crimson clover.
 
We used a few different mixes this year.

On the ridge top plots that we also plant in summer plots we just use a mix of wheat,oats, and crimson clover.

On the ridge top plots that we don't want to replant every year, we planted wheat, crimson clover and arrow-leaf clover. With these plot we will go in around the middle of July and bushhog, and run a disk over them, and they will reseed themselves.

In our low land plots we planted a mix of 50% durana clover and 50% red clover, and used wheat as a cover crop.
 
I've tried more plant species than I can count, but my favorites are cereal grains (wheat/oats), annual clovers (crimson and arrowleaf), Austrian Winter Peas, and several different varieties of brassica (Dwarf Essex Rape, turnips, etc.)
 
Most of my annual plots this year were pretty basic - winter wheat, crimson clover, 7 top and purple top turnips.

For the perennials it was winter wheat, crimson, durana, patriot, and red clover.

This rain will definitely help!!

8 acres of wheat and Buck forage oats mixed
7.5 acres of new ground that the first of August was in mature hardwoods, clear cut timber, trackhoe for stumps, dozer final grade
3 tons of lime per acre...them I used Imperial Whitetail clover&Antler King clover & Mossy Oak Biologic Clover and mixed together, with 3 lbs acre Crimson Clover, plus 50 lbs per acre wheat got it all spread just before the rain last week
 
Durana clover + winter wheat as a nurse crop. I try to add a little more acreage in a perennial clover every year.
 
I have two plots of Imperial clover/chicory that was planted last fall, and this year I tried a small plot of PT turnips/Dwarf Essex Rape. I got it in the ground the week before we got all the residual rain from Hurricane Ivan, so it came up pretty strong
 
I have winter wheat, crimson clover, purple top turnips, and Biologic winter bulbs which is mainly sugar beets with a few other brassica thrown in. Just overseeded some of the bare spots with more winter wheat right before this rain. Cant wait to check on them.

One of the best mixtures out there................ :cool:
 
we tried triticale this year mixed with 3 clovers, turnips and brassicas and peas.

also planted 2 fields in imperial clover and one field in alfalfa

We also have about half our fields in standing corn...
 
Winter wheat, winter Rye and purple top turnips, all just broadcast on top of the ground. I put mine on a mowed power line, 300 yds long 20 yds wide out in front of the stand and 200 yds behind the stand. I can see 1000 yards out front!!!Doubbled up on the seed from 100 to the 200 yard mark.
 
I mixed all kinds of stuff. Wheat, oats, rape, mustard, red clover, crimson clover, ladino clover, austrian peas, and rye grass. I put it all together in the same plots.
 
My first plot. 1/2 acre. I planted:
Buck Forage Oats
Red Clover
Ladino Clover
Winter Peas
VNS Wheat
7Top Turnips.

Plot is looking good and the deer are hitting it pretty hard.
