    Soybean browse pressure questions

    I have a 3 acre and a just under 2 acre plot of ag beans that I planted in Central Wisconsin that has been e-fenced with minimal success. When I first set up the fence I did not have enough fiberglass poles so there were low spots and the deer were able to get in. Since then, it has been a...

    Empty soybean pods

    I have a stand of Eagle soybeans, 2 different seed types, that are very thick and tall with lots of pods. I noticed this weekend that most pods are empty or contain a very small seed. Will deer likely still graze them when they are fully dry? Not sure if they can recognize that the pod is...

    Brassica planting consecutive years

    I am starting to work on a fall blend to drill into my beans and am including several brassicas along with winter rye and possibly oats. If I continue along the regenerative ag/buffalo method can I plant brassicas into my beans every year or should they still be rotated? I have read that you do...

    Buffalo system quesitons

    I recently watched a video posted here about how Grant Woods has switched over to Green Cover Seeds and in the video it seems to imply that he is moving away from a bean monoculture in the spring to a spring mix. Is this the case and if so, has he released how he plans on terminating the crop...
