My property up in lampasas got at least a dozen inches of rain this month and is still very, very wet. I have a "low lying" area that, while not underwater and technically swamp, seems to take a very long time to fully dry out. Are there any cover crops you guys would recommend that are water thirsty and the animals (primarily deer) like to eat?

Cover crops for low-lying areas?

My entire food plot is similar. We are doing a heavy mix of cereal grains like rye, wheat, oats, and triticale, with a mix of clovers and turnips that I’m assuming won’t fare as well well if it stays too wet.
My problems usually pick up around December, and it can stay soggy up until May if it is a wet spring. I am hoping that by having something actively growing, it will help to draw some of the moisture out throughout the winter.

I'd like to be able to spread and forget, though, because tilling it will just invite erosion when I tear up the exsting grasses.
