Tryin my hand
At some forage soybeans. Disced right around 2 acres this morning and broadcast 2 bags and lightly disced em under.
some small plots and a couple pretty good size ones. Maybe I'll be able to get a deer to munch on em! Will go in after they get up and spray some roundup.Re: Tryin my hand
So I assume forage beans are round-up ready?

Some are, some aren't.
Looks like some nice plots!

Figured I could leave that wheat in there and maybe keep the deer off the beans? Hope that works! Can't see it in the 1st pic but there is a stand about where that boy is standing in the trees on the left. And beyond the 3rd pic is 2 more plots that I forgot to take pictures of, but another stand is right in that corner on the right hand side there.

Re: Tryin my hand
Good stuff. I am trying them too, but in our duck hole alongside some corn.
Rob, which are RR? Just Eagle seed?

Re: Tryin my hand
I don't know all of the varieties, but the Eagles are RR. Laredos and Tyrones aren't.
I just today planted Eagle Large Lad and Big Fellow beside some Tyrones. I'll spray them all with the sane thing I spray on my sunflowers. I just wanted to compare the three.
I figured up the cost per acre to grow RR and non RR. It was about $60/acre for non RR (including pre emerge and post emerge herbicides) and $80 for RR (2 applications of Roundup). Seed cost of the Eagles was the big chunk.

Re: Tryin my hand
Does buying in bulk drive the price down a good bit on eagles?
Re: Tryin my hand
I don't think so. They don't have any competition in the RR forage bean market yet.
There are some other folks who know more about this than I do. Maybe they'll chime in.

Re: Tryin my hand
got a pretty stand so far. Wish I had a drill, narrow planters at the very least! Gonna give it another week before I hit it with roundup

Re: Tryin my hand
Looking good.
I am thankful for some dry weather finally. Hopefully I can start prepping by Saturday after the corn gets sprayed.

Re: Tryin my hand
I planted mine the same way you did yours. A few of them are up now. I'm going to leave them alone for a week or so before I go look at em again. I'm more excited about the forage beans than my production beans.
When I was checking the beans yesterday I was fired up to flush 4 deer out of my arrow leaf clover plot. That clover is a good 3' tall now. I'm interested to see how much taller it will get.
