I have 1/2 acre of beans that I want to throw brassica seed into when the leaves turn yellow. Is there one seed or a blend of seeds that will work in this WI situation?

Now is the time to broadcast winter rye seed and it will grow about on any kind of soil...

Rye all day long! Do it as the leaves begin to change.

Planted rye for the first time last year. Came in fast and strong. Winter months had deer in t very day. Spring and summer the turkeys loved it. I just cut it and was amazed at how many deer beds were in it. Checked to see if the seed was dispersing well from the cutting and was pleasantly surprised at how much and how well it was scattered about. Hoping for one more year from it, then will kill it and plant something else. I will definitely be using it on a regular basis, from one field to another.

I usually mix winter rye with wheat in situations like this. They're both close but depending on winter temps and soil nutrients one will be strong when the other isn't. Plus I've found deer to vastly prefer wheat over rye. But, as a disclaimer deer on my place won't touch a turnip even though everyone swears they are the cats meow.
