Isn't that the truth!

Wheat, wheat, wheat. Never did rye. Throw it on the ground, and run over it with what ever you have handy to break up a little soil. If you get a period of wet weather, the seed on top of the ground will germinate and grow.I have a few questions for those experienced in Oklahoma food plots. This is our second year on a lease in eastern Comanche county. Mostly sandy soil with bermuda grass for hay and grazing. I am thinking of doing a few small food plots about 1/4 acre each.
1. Am I too late? I am going to try to plant this Sunday.
2. What should I plant?
I was thinking of the evolved harvest throw and gro (rye, clover, and forage rape) or mega plot (triticale forage grain, oats, forage turnips and annual forage clovers). I have access to a small Harrow drag to work the soil, and was thinking of just broadcast spreading the seed after dragging with the Harrow. Then chain drag or something to cover seed.
Any recommendations on a better option I an get locally are appreciated. I am on a shoestring budget and time. Which sucks, but such is life. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Since I bought the overseeder, my youngest son has been wearing me out about planting food plots (for this year), but my idea has been to keep doing what we're doing for this year and re-evaluate next year.
Here's the deal. Due to my "projected" work schedule, I'm probably only going to be able to hunt in October (and MAYBE the first weekend in November), so I'll more than likely not even get to see what I plant come up. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to planting just for the sake of the deer, but dang it, I'd at least like to be able to see it come up and maybe hunt over it.
My question to y'all is, given my situation, would you try to plant or not?
Your boys not December bow hunters?
