mixing corn and beans

[skuna]

anybody every mixed soybeans and corn and broadcasted it for deer or ducks. If so, what % of each in the mix?

Skuna, I did this year at about 8:1 ratio. Biologic's Biomaxx has 11% corn. The only thing is there latest maturing soybean is a 5.3 and not a forage type. I planted Big Fellow RR Forage Soybean and a Terral RR2/Corn Borer Hybrid. The later maturity, the better. This will allow for maximum forage for the deer and will prevent shattering or loss of seed from maturing when it is hot and dry.

thanks SBM, I'll try the 8:1.

What's cool about mixing beans and corn is that the beans fixate nitrogen and help the corn grow. It is a great mix for ducks.

if you want a tall indeterminate 7.3 soybean i got plenty of them.. and they pretty resistant everything...

the Biomaxx is good.. but it only uses a 90 day and 110 day corn and an early 5 and later 5 soybean.. i would mix up my beans a lttle more and use indeterminate beans..

BTW... the beans will not produce enough N for the corn.. and if you havent had beans or cowpeas on the land in quite a while i would innoculate the soybeans..

y'all getting over my head with some of this stuff.
