Default Help planning deer foodplots

Looking for some info on what/when/how to plant a couple of 5 acre foodplots.
Located in NW LA, on either end of a ~75 acre hay field, I'd like to plant something easy for the first year. Soil is sort of sandy but puts out awesome Bermuda for hay. Wondering two things:
1) what to plant easily (I've got access to large disc) and how/when
2) how to keep cows off of it (one 5 acre block is already fenced, the other has a 650' corner needing fence, but wondering about relative costs/effectiveness of temporary electric fences vs. permanent barbed wire

Many thanks
