Have a small (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 acre) food plot. Great spot, have done well on it the last few years but here’s my problem. It’s typically extremely wet in the spring until early summer when it dries out. Stays dried out the rest of the year in to December ish. Usually from January till spring thaw it’s frozen solid, like an inch of ice from the moisture/rains/snow melt of the winter. So it sets up well for early fall annuals and I’ve done brassicas the last few years and need to rotate something else in, ideally something that improves the soil a bit so that I can go back to brassicas next year. Because of how wet and frozen it gets at times I’ve not been able to get clover to live 12 months. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thought maybe oats/wheat/rye mix but not sure. Do those need/use a lot of nitrogen like brassicas? Thanks
