I planted about an acre, pretty late too, end of June w/ mixed in sorghum and corn. I was also worried about the deer mowing it down, and especially so, since we have pretty high deer numbers. Luckily enough for us, the neighboring fields are all in beans this year, so I'm sure that helped the grazing. I'll completely stand behind these beans. They've been grazed hard and keep on growing. Still have a lot of pods left. Loving what it's gonna look like in the winter!Very nice. I love the height of the beans. How big of an area did you plant. I want to try the eagle beans but I’m afraid all of the deer will just mow it down and not even let it grow.
