[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3829126, member: 5412"] Wheat is your friend. Every deer will come to it. Planting as close to sept 1 is going to give you forage for bow season and beyond even if you don’t bow hunt. Your not raising a crop, your putting in forage so don’t worry about micronutrients and all the recommendations you get from a soil sample which I highly recommend to determine soil PH. Simple fertilizer and probably some granular lime will be all you need. It will take several applications of the lime over a few years to get the soil PH where the wheat really likes it. Most soils around wooded areas are highly acid so lime helps. Problem #2 is that finding wheat seed in Ok May be a little tough and expensive as the farming cartel pretty much controls the sale of hard red winter wheat seed. What I use is the white wheat from Stillwater milling that can be bought in the 50# bag. 25 lbs per acre if drilled in and twice that if broadcast and dragged over with a chain link fence drag. No restrictions on that and it’s not terribly expensive. [/QUOTE]
