THIS^^^^^I would choose both!
Just north of you in KS. I like wheat as I've observed (over and over) that deer around here prefer it over rye in the fall, winter, and summer. I usually still plant rye but am starting to question the value of it for my purposes. I like diversity a lot, so rye will probably stick around but it doesn't attract or feed deer nearly as well as wheat does. Disclaimer - These are my own observations, people from all over the country often have different results than I do. Hell, I can't even get a deer to try turnips more than once and it's one of the most popular plantings out there.
Ragweed is awesome plot material! My deer AND quail love it!A mix of rye and wheat here, but have slowly leaned towards wheat unless I want more height. Same as above, 3 straight years of turnips and they wouldn't touch em with a 10 ft pole. This year I went with option C, which is letting the plot grow up in giant ragweed. Free food plot
Yeah, the quail will be in there thick this winter. Makes for nice cover and food, especially with some foxtail thrown in. Sometimes I wonder why I waste my time planting anythingRagweed is awesome plot material! My deer AND quail love it!

I still think a person could have a pretty good plot by just throwing some fertilizer in the right place. Finding the “right” place would be the trick.Yeah, the quail will be in there thick this winter. Makes for nice cover and food, especially with some foxtail thrown in.
