Planted some food plots today. Update pic

We are supposed to be getting a little rain next week so I went ahead and put a deer plot in behind my house today. Once corn harvest starts I usually end up getting my plots in late so I decide to get a jump on them this year. This plot I ended up planting tillage radishes, purple top turnips, and seven top. I sprayed it with a quart of roundup and a quart of Prowl. Will come back later with about 30 units of nitrogen to give it a little kick start.
Checked my plot the other day and it has a pretty good stand. Only a few thin spots. Did notice a lot of worm damage though. Probably will spray it with a pyrethroid today.

Nice, was planning on going to the camp this weekend but thought it was going to be a wash out. It ended up being nice up there right now.

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?

where i am, yes
should I include some root crops? My only handicap is that I broadcast everything. Atbest, I can till it in with the disk or gradebox teeth

It is a 5045e. John Deere had a special program on them last year where you could lease one for $100 a month and you could put 300 hrs on it. It has turned out to be a really handy tractor for a lot of jobs. I hope they offer that program again.

I really like the tillage radishes. They really help break up the soil when they decompose. Really like running a turning plow without having to break the soil and thus cause erosion. kind of like a no-till turning plow. Deer really like the greens and the root. You can disk them in just fine. We broadcast them in standing corn with an airplane and get pretty good stands.
This is a picture of how big they can get. You can imagine how that would loosen up the soil.

Checked the plots the other day ended up having a good stand. Going to have to spray for worms though.

Man you got some great results. The deer will be hammering those turnips when it gets cooler. 
Posted on 9/5/16 at 8:57 am to highcotton2
Not to hijack, but what can I spray in my garden to get rid of those worms? Sevin isn't working.

You could get a spray with Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) in it.
