I hunt SW AL in Marengo Co., AL. My targeted planting date is Sept 24th. Now if there is no rain in the forecast, I will delay the planting 'til just before rain prediction.
Is there any reason to plant earlier or later?

Sure as heck is no reason to plant earlier , IMO. I shoot for the 3rd weekend in September, but I'm way North of you.
If it's dry go ahead on the 24th, seed won't come up till it rains anyway.
If it's gun hunting only , wait a couple more weeks.

First or second week of September depending on rain. Then try to keep the deer out of them, until a day or so before bow season.

We plant the around the 24th to the 29th of October. We usually have rains then and the army worms are gone. We joke about the people that plant the first of September, come back in a few weeks to check on the plots, they look good. Then when bow season comes around they pile in and find nothing but dirt and blame the seed!

As to earlier, a local farmer who also owns a hunting lodge and guide service once cautioned me about planting too early saying that the army worms will decimate your work. He says the end of Sept. to early October is optimum to be ready for the season without fighting the crop destroying insects (unless you have the time and money to spray pesticides).
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

If your planting clover you need it pianted alot sooner ,more like the last of august. Clover takes longer to develope. If you think you are going to establish white clovers enough to have a "stand" of clover between August and winter, you are mistaken. All white clovers are going to take 2 years to fully establish. Please take some advice and plant them in October with a cover crop and do some good maintenance for next year and you'll be much better served.
