Cowpeas. Better put something to keep them out till you're ready though
"They are who we thought they were"
You can dress a fat chick up, but you cant fix stupid
Not to be a wet blanket, but be careful planting anything if you're going to hunt turkeys.
Cow peas will grow on concrete and deer love them, but if you don't use a fence or plant 5+ac then you are just wasting your time. My red clay grows just about everything I've tried. Cow Peas, soy beans, buckwheat, sunn hemp, sorghum, etc. I'm thinking of trying a mixture of sorghum, cow peas, and crimson clover. The deer won't mess with the sorghum on my place so maybe the peas will be able to grow and vine some.
In my opinion, any bump in nutrition is negated by the loss of cover and food (seed and bugs) you get when you let your winter plots grow out to seed.
Sure does feel stupid to disc up a fawn or turkey nest when you're helping wildlife.
If you wanted spring forage you should have planted it in the fall. You are on the early side of planting for summer forage right now.
