Stoney, cereal rye is very forgiving on pH and oats aren’t quite as picky as wheat in my limited experience. But they’ll all grow just fine at 6.0 or even under if you put extra fertilizer to them OR you have good, living soil rather than overworked dirt. A few clovers are much better than others for pH also but they aren’t always well represented in the bagged mixes you find for food plots. Several good options for summer plantings as well if you feel like spending the money but it’s not like you need to plant all 24. I’d do summer plots in maybe half, if you aren’t already and maybe rotate them year to year. Plant fall/summer on half and fall only on the rest and let them go fallow all summer. Then switch the next season. It’s a great way to build soil organic matter without excess inputs. If you have two quads I’d think about getting a small ATV trailer. I put 400# in mine to move it places that I can’t get my truck.
