A good 3 year old buck
Great - looking buck - its pretty cool him finding an apple and posing - - Yep - me too with beans - my workhorse -I use round up ready -for long plots I plant 30" rows and do my best to split the rows on the second pass. For blocks I plant 30" rows then do a checkerboard - it does well and is easier than splitting the rows. My beans are roundup ready - if I time it right - I do one spraying - but sometimes I have to do two spray applications if canopy is not coming along - or if browsing is too much -
My beans hold up for a long time - then in Mid Aug -they start to hammered. Enough pods make it for the late season still. 1-2 acres wouldn't cut it - I plant at least 6 acres in strips and blocks and rotate them year to year with clover and turnips -and corn. Beans are my main draw.
right about the time they canopoy - they become the number one food source -
see how browsed - this is a typical august evening -
some fields do better than oithers - i've learned that corn corners and strips will hinder general deer browsing of soybeans - when others are available. The deer do not like to have their wind wrong and their vision blocked. Eventually they will eat it all - but this NE corner plot for example looks hardly browsed and its hip high -
the main open strips and blocks are generall only ankle to knee high when they start to yellow - but a lot of pods have formed and continue to develop -
