Put some soy beans in today in a small area. I hope I did it right! This is basically a test area to see what happens.

The top pic is on the left side of an opening in between the woods. The bottom pic is on the right side of the same opening. I'm going to plow the middle and put in some rape.
Lookin' good, brother! Hopefully there's no woodchucks hanging out nearby... If there are, get the gun ready!

Gonna be doing the same thing this weekend.... Hope my RR soybeans show up today, so that when I get off duty tomorrow I can get everything ready and plant on saturday and sunday!
Good article in D&DH I just ready on the crapper today about soy beans. It said you are going to want several acres to plant them or they will be gone quickly. Sorry to burst your bubble Cotty. lol
I figured the deer go through alot. It's just a test area to see if they grow. Most of my plot is rye / rape combo that I'll put in early fall.
I may still do a late spring planting but I'm at the mercy of the landowner plowing for me.

That'd be interesting, some plants are finicky in how they pollinate if they aren't surrounded by thousands more.

put a small cage up so if they do grow you can actually see what they could of become if the deer mow them down
You're going to find out that soybeans in a small area like that will get wiped out pretty fast. IMO, one needs a minimum of 2-3 acres to have a successful crop of soys or corn. If your plot gets wiped out overseed it with winter rye in August.
