looks nice.

You have any tips for someone with the following:

Tractor with disk and grade box
North Central Arkansas

Lots of rocks mixed in, I used the grade box to break up the soil, removed a ton of rocks so far.

not sure of the pH, never been planted before. This is several locations, but each location is about 1 acre

Any tips on what to plant? I will be planting probably early september or the last weekend of August.

I was planning thus far to plant some with Imperial Whitetail Clover mixed with Winter Wheat and some with Winter Peas.

I haven't done many plots before except on the flood banks of the MS river where anything will grow. Are the some "must have" additions? Any suggestions would be great

Sound like a good mix. I like having some root crops mixed in because deer will root them up in late December and January and seem to love them. I tend to just stick with either broadleafs in some plots and grassy forage in others just because it simplifies my weed management. We grow a lot of Crimson clover for cover crops on our farm and deer seem to really not like the Crimson clovers. Would definitely stick with white clovers.

Is North Central Arkansas more of a silt loam soil?
