Dove Field Ideas - new property

I recently had two 5 acre fields cleared in the center of a cutover. I am looking for ideas regarding planting for a good dove hunt on this virgin soil. Already working on the lime, but not certain about what will grow well in substandard conditions. Thoughts? Experience?

Would be hard to beat wheat and sunflowers I would think...with 5 acres you can plant strips of each, mow a little about 5 weeks before the season and some more about 1-2 weeks before...

Brown top millet. Spray with round up the last week of July. Disk strips to separate into thirds and burn one section back every 10 days! Place a few round bales to sit next to and have fun!
