You've never said what equipment you have to work with.
If you can get it worked up I'd go with wheat and clover and then spread more clover into the last snow melt next spring. The freeze & thaw cycles of early spring is perfect for getting clover established. My thinking is the wheat will hold some of the weeds off while giving them some green and giving the clover a chance to establish. The second round of clover will help get it established the rest of the way. We actually use this method without any tillage when switching fields from row crops to a clover hay rotation.
I prefer what many call jumbo red clover if it's in a spot I can mow fairly high mid summer. If it's in a spot I can't get a tractor to I tend to use the Ladino and other white clovers.
