And now that field looks way different.. It's crazy but the deer have really knocked it back a great deal. It's now a field of drying vines covering the ground.. Still some leaves out there but not anything like the pictures.. And there are enough soybean pods in it that I don't want to waist so I do think I will just broadcast grains and clover into that field.

Next time, plant sorghum with your soybeans. It's the best combo I've found.

Don't fret about the deer not hitting your beans early, it means you have good natural browse. Late summer is our biggest stress period for deer, i'll have peas waist high in July and then in 2 weeks there wont be anything but vines. I'm thinking seriously about not planting summer plots, except for perrenial clover. Just throw some white clover into your cereal grains and it should last until August, maybe longer with adequate rainfall.

Where are you in bibb/perry?
