When you said over top of your beans do you mean broadcast or drill into your standing beans. I have broadcast over top of beans before with mixed results but don't have a drill so only option. Just wondering how you did it and appreciate the information and tips
I have large AG soybeans on neighbors farm. I’m fine with him feeding the deer all summer. I provide fall forage when it counts, hunting season. I never understood why guys plant small soybean and clover plots when there is big acreage soybean AG nearby. You are not going to compete with that and it is silly to try. I really believe guys are bored and can’t wait until fall to plant cool season annuals.
In this situation we planted a 10 acre field. The reason most guys plant soybeans is not to compete with big AG fields, but to provide high carb and protein food sources (pods) once all the big AG is harvested. The only thing the deer have to browse on AG soybeans are the leaves - and, for the guy that plants soybeans as a food plot he has the more attractive and nutritious food source come hunting season.
Whitetail Properties good luck getting a small soybean plot to late season with pods. Another myth is deer like pods. They eat pods because they have no other choice. They would rather have greens in most cases. All I am saying is there are better choices. Soybeans are the glamour TV crop. It’s misleading. Guys think they can plant a half acre of soybeans and hunt from a box blind and kill a mature buck like the pro staffers on TV hunting fantasy land states. Said hunter in Michigan or PA would be better off planting rye or wheat in small kill plots. Browse resistant and deer crush it after everything else dies or turns brown. Those are not glamour crops so they get underutilized. Not to mention seed companies want to push expensive throw and grow seeds that don’t work. Rye grain is the ultimate throw and grow. It never fails and is cheap, that is a seed companies nightmare.
@@richstafford1245 Agreed. Very small acreages are not the place to plant a soybean food plot. Also agree that you should base you food plot plantings off of your geographic location and size of your planting. Certain things will do better and be more attractive in certain areas.
You must be northern because clover lasts almost all year here in Central kentucky.
Rob is located in south central Indiana.
Do you suggest drilling the beans directly back into the brassica plots? I think I am going to have some residual rotting ones.
Yes! You shouldn’t worry about the decaying matter from the brassicas. They will break down and add organic matter to the beans!
Happy Dear
WE Thank You

Sorry we missed you comment! You can broadcast or drill into the beans!
We used a drill. You might look into renting one from you local NRCS office, that is how we typically get access to them. It's very affordable to do.
At what point of beans growing do you drill fall blend? Any damage to beans?
Thanks 4 info
At 2 minutes in what is that bag of seed called please let me know
That is whitetail institute pure attraction. There is a link to their seed in the description of the video.
Good info. Thanks for sharing
