A pipeline company has been renting 5 acres of a hay meadow by my machine shop for the last 8 months. When they get done they will plant it to anything I want. I am looking for something attractive to bothdeer and Turkey's. It needs to be low maintenance and last as long as possible as I have no equipment to maintain it. My initial thought is clover. They should be done in June . Any help is appreciated

And here I thought this was gonna be a thread about hounds. Plotts are cool dogs

Clover, grass mix. A local feed mill would tell you ...clover will take over so sed like 30% clover and several other grazing grasses.

Wild apple trees or wild blue berries. Animals love that stuff.

Some kind of fruit or fruit trees that produce without spraying a lot of chemicals.

Clover will do very well if you just keep it mowed down some. Don't let the grasses get too high and choke it out. A few mowings each summer should do. Consider planting time though. Clover needs some rain after being planted. It can't go for weeks without rain and the seedlings survive. June planting could be a problem in a lot of places.

Ed P gave good advice.

Sorry about the spelling in title. I have thought about a grass clover mix. It will be mowed for hay at least once a year . Any recommendations on a type of grass as I believe Turkey's do not like to walk in tall grass.

I can't really think of any grass that would be a benefit.
Cerial rye may work in a mix with clovers?

I'll tell you what is hot in cow graziers is Milvus clover. Good luck finding that stuff.
