What I am looking to implement is to have a year round food plot containing strips of different food source. Having a centralized food location gets deer accustomed to coming to one secure location year round and this in terms makes it easier to funnel deer in the food plot.
Question for the food plot experts out there. Is any of the listed seeds harder to grow here in NB, keeping in mind that the soil will be fertilized and limed accordingly.

If you have experience with any of these that have a hard time growing in our neck of the woods, what would you recommend to substitude them with?Alice (or comparable) white clover 10% of plot
Brassicas in 45% of plot
Purple Top Turnips 3#
Dwarf Essex Rape 2#
GroundHog Forage radish 5#
Plant in mid to late July in most midwest states, or 60-90 days before your first killing frost. Follow the dead brassicas with oats and berseem or crimson clover in mid spring.
Cereal Grain combo in 45% of plot
Winter rye 50-80#'s per acre (56#'s = a bushel)
Spring oats 80-120#'s per acre (32#'s = a bushel)
Austrian Winter Peas or 4010/6040 Forage peas 20-80#'s per acre
Red Clover 8-12#'s per acre or white clover at 6#'s per acre
Groundhog Forage Radish 5#'s per acre
Plant in late August to early September
Rotate the brassicas and rye combo each year
