I have about less than a half an acre that I plan on planting here shortly. My question is can I mix both a perennial mix with an annual mix. I am having a tough time deciding on whether to plant my fall plot in a perennial (clover base) or the annual (turnips and rape). Was wondering if anyone ever tried mixing these and if so what kind of results did you get?
Drelan, I have tried this on a similar size plot. The Turnips and Rape grew so good I think it drowned out the Clover and Chicory I planted. Yes the deer ate the Clover and Chicory that Fall and absolutely 
the Rape and Turnips but the following Spring only a very small portion of Clover and Chicory came back, but not worth planting IMO. 
Thanks Rob…I was leaning toward the rape and turnips since I already have an area with clover.
If you already have an area with Clover on the same piece of property I would definitely go with the Rape & Turnips. Clover provides a lot of tonnage when it establishes. This Rape & Turnip seed combonation amazes me every year, deer eat it from about 40 days on but when it is time, they absolutely it.
Yep Biologic Maximum
If you plant it they will come 
Mixing them will work(double cross from whitetail instatute&trophy clover from antler king) I have seen both in action and also made my own mixes, works great if the dry weather and heat lastinto fall by shading the clover allowing it to survive, the key is mix rate, never more than 10% brassicas

Good point QDM.
I like to go a lil heavy on the barrasicas 
and the mix I did was not something like White Cross it was my own blend/concoction.
