Is it too late for a fall plot?

[totally_addicted]

So yesterday a landowner gave us permission to plant a 2 acre food plot in a field that once was an alfalfa field. We want to put it in this Saturday if we do it but are concerned that it may be too late if we get our first frosts in a few weeks. Is there any suggestions for what to do?

This piece of property is just awesome. It is a small 10 acre piece that is surrounded by 300 acres of QDMA land. There are some great bucks that we've seen using this piece in excess of 150". They used to frequent our 10 acres when the alfalfa was thick but as it has thinned so have their appearances. We'd really like what we plant to be a late season draw such as turnips. But are definitely open to more cold hardy plant like Rye. Unless, we'd be be better off waiting 'til next season and doing it earlier.

Thanks for all the advice in advance.

Any grassy type food plots are easy to establish quickly... Wheat and especially winter rye come up fast and deer love them... The rye will come up over night with a good rain I have seen it every year we will go out the next day and the plot will have a red tinge on the surface... We planted rye/wheat/brassicas a week ago and its already standing 3 inches
