Fergie: You're the one who needs to decide what will work best to meet your goals. Do some research. Lots of good info on the web regarding use of Buckwheat/Rye as a green manure. By all means as others have said apply as much animal manure, if avaialable to you, as you can acquire. A Buckwheat/Rye rotation has long been accepted as an excellent practice for building/conditioning the soil in fields that have not been under regular cultivation. Since this field is only going to be a food plot you are of course not realizing any return on your investment other than to attract game, improve their nutrition,and build your own satisfaction. I would estimate that planting Soybeans would nearly increase your input costs about 10 times over that of Buckwheat and Rye. If you establish Clover, since you will have to mow it anyway, you may be able to sell off cow hay to offset some of you input costs. All I know is that deer around here will cross a Soybean field to get to my Clover. Rick
