Would this date be early enough for a brassica mix with Winfred brassicas?

When do you usually get your frost? With the right weather/rain I see oats at 3 inches (Northeast Pa) in just 4 days after planting. I also only use feed grade oats as a cover crop.. I plant my clover plots, first week September. I'm just guessing your growing season is later then N-E Pa..

I'm in the coldest part of Ohio and have planted BFO the last week of August for several years.
