Biologic or Imperial Whitetail Clover?

This is a question for all you Easterners. Here in Kansas just about every field is a food plot. Wheat, milo, corn, soybeans, cane, heck even the road ditches and pastures provide forage for our deer and turkeys. Can you believe I've seen them eat bindweed and buckwheat. We try to kill that stuff out of our fields, and I hear where buckwheat is planted in some states for a food source.
Back to the question, I recently came across a half section of nearly all Conservation Reserve Grass, with a creek running through it. Half planted two years ago, and half 16 years ago. So I have a nice combination of ecosystems going on. Plenty of deer, but the majority of "deer food" around it is wheat. Which plots, up to an acre in size, do you all have success with 'year around' not just seasonal? We farm so impliments, lime, fertilizer, and weeds are no problem. In Kansas only water, wind, and heat may be a problem. Any suggestions?

You never know when another driftwood will show up.

Driftwoodbuck,
What part of Kansas you located?

I live East of Salina about 30 miles. Our area is primarily creekbottom farmland with scattered native pastures, hedgerows, and open crop fields. Our deer normally hit alfalfa this time of year, then to soybeans until the blooms turn to pods. Then as soon as the milo starts to turn color they hit it. I need something that will last through the winter better than alfalfa and waste grain. Winter wheat is a poor food for deer if you ask me. Top this off with crops that yield little or no grain, you have a hard winter on tap.
