Recommendations on seeds to plant

[Land_Owner]

My soy beans are being hammered, just like iron and clay peas (ICPs) in the past.  The deer get on them in the moonlight (the daylight too!) and stay on them until the newly germinated plants are eaten to the dirt line after which the plants die.  I have overseeded in the past with 1.) more of the same, or 2.) wheat, rye, oats, and clover mixed, or 3.) Australian Winter Peas (AWPs), or 4.) sorghum with combinations of other seed above.

I have tried starting with a.) brassicas, b.) with sorghum and ICP's, c.) with wheat, and d.) with AWPs.  The deer like soy beans and ICPs period.  They pretty much leave everything else alone.

What else can I try for E. Central FL?  I am spending a lot of time and money for two weeks worth of deer browse and it is starting to gall me.

They say certain types of chicory does well but I have not tried any

Turnip greens work well after a frost, but for some reason not before.  I don't know if you get much frost there, but they make a good late season browse for deer here.  We keep them "corn fed" as much as possible leading up to the season, but looking at the price of feed corn, I will be looking for an alternative to that as well this year.

If you find some combo that works well, please post it so we can all learn.....

I have a year-round corn feeder to provide "just a little" and keep them interested.  The hogs used to take all of it.  Now the hogs have been trapped or run off by the State in a recent and effective campaign to reduce hog numbers on State lands adjacent to me.

I am still experimenting.  In most winters we do not get sufficient frost - or it comes real late in the season, to make brasicas, turnips, "greens", etc., sweeten up.

Part of my original post is to invite recommendations.  I could just concede and purchase Plot Saver or solar powered electric fence, but as others have posted, 18" to 24" plants with most of the leaves devegetated by heavy deer browse do not produce well either.

I'm guessing you are wanting to attract deer in the fall, but not so much in the summer. Can you get a cover crop of oats to last through the summer down there? In Il. you would go out in july and disc down the oats and they would re establish after a couple good rains. You maybe could interseed something at that point with the oats being a nurse crop for a cloverlike plant. If I remember right you are in Fl. right? All my plants might be wrong for the heat.

Rye, if it works down there, is something you might want to investigate. It has the property of inhibiting other plants from establishing where it has been growing, pre-emerge herbicide if you will. It doesn't work on everything but if it were to fit maybe it would help on those sandspurs as well. Just a thought.

 I'm going to pick up some 'Small Burnett' seed today, maybe a little more 'Birdsfoot Treefoil' seed too. These may not be as pretty as a manicured patch of clover but my goal is low maintenance in marginal soil. This is a more remote location so it does not take all that much to be inviting.
