BigDave, rye grass can be killed by freezing temps, where rye can stand more cold weather. I'm going by my farming days and that was 35 yrs ago.
I've been using your recipe of bob oats, winter wheat, and rye for the last few years and it has done really good.
The bob oats / elbow rye / wheat is about the cheapest $/pound seed for food plots I’ve found.
And it works well.
haven’t found a good mix that isn’t high % rye grass.
Did make a new plot earlier this fall, maybe 1/4 acre. Planted brassicas and clover. It’s doing so so.
Plant the bob oats, not the more expensive buck forage oats.
I’ve even used feed wheat when co-op was out of seed wheat.
