Thanks for this, Ken. I'm thinking of doing 5 acres of bird habitat for pheasant, dove and turkey. I'll have to modify the plants a bit because nothing grows in mid summer around here. It quits raining on the 4th of July and doesn't rain again until 1 October. The mild winters mean fall plantings will make it through just fine. Field peas make a great crop, along with oats, winter wheat and barley. I'm also thinking about soybeans and millet. Legumes in with the cereals will reduce the nitrogen requirements.

Larry,

Also check with your state's department of natural resources and state college websites. Excellent sources of information, and lots of DNR's have programs for reduced cost/no cost plots where they help with seed, etc.

Did a quick search on Oregon DNR and maybe this link will help.
