wheat and oats or rye grain all go well together and you can get crimson clover pretty cheap compared to in the past. the clover and turnip size seeds go along way so you don't have to buy much of them. cereal grains are like 100 to 150 lbs to the acre if broadcasting and the clover and turnips will be more like 3-5 lbs and acre. The smaller seeds are spread better with a hand spreader in my opinion

You don't have to buy those expensive seed mixes. We buy Feed Wheat , Feed oat , and rye grain also rape and purple top turnip.
on a typical 1/2 acre plot , I would put 3 bags feed wheat, 1/2 bag of feed oats , and 1/2 bag of rye grain. 3 bags 13-13-13
after covering seed (careful not to cover to deep) , I would top sow 2# rape and 1 # turnips.
Feed wheat 9.00/bag , feed oat 10.00/bag Rye 15.00/bag , fertilizer 11.00 / bag rape 1.00/pound, turnips 4.00/pound total cost about $88.00 , you will have half bag of oats and rye to go on another plot. Good Luck !

Good Luck ! Is this for 1/2 acre. If I read right thats $88 minus $33 for fertilizer which would be $55 for 1/2 of seed. I can get 1 bag with all the good stuff for a lot less and it will cover a whole acre. just another way to look at it

Very little experience with planting green fields. Up until this year I only hunted public land, but this year will be the first year hunting a private lease. What sorts of seeds/mixes have worked for you guys in the past? It seems to me like clover is pretty popular. I don't just want to go out and arbitrarily purchase expensive food plot seed. Any insight from you guys would be much appreciated. Easiest food plot I ever planted was Biologic Green Patch Plus. Years of test plots and research to back up quality at reasonable price. Comes in quick. Most of folks on here go to their coop & buy separate seed to plant. Walmart usually has GPP in stock to plant 1/2 acre and acre. Try both and see what works best for you. I'd rather pay a little more for convenience than have to mix seed and add inoculants in hopefully the right proportion. Plant before a rain.

cost about $88.00 , you will have half bag of oats and rye to go on another plot. Good Luck ! That's heavy on seed and a little light on fertilizer compared to what most folks recommend. Per acre we plant 1 bag oats 1 wheat and 1 rye top seeded with 12-15 lbs clover. Fertilize according to soil test recommendation, usually 250-300 lbs 17-17-17 per acre
