Thanks, sometimes my eyes read faster than my brain comprehends."We interplant with the shorter maturity bean so we can allow light into the field a little faster as those beans reach maturity sooner. That is so our inter seeding of our next crop towards the end of august will germinate a little faster. WR, AWP etc."
This is from my post above.
These are a 4.5 maturity Ag Bean, then interplanted every other row with a 2.5 maturity Soybean. The key is planting over twice as many as normal. The deer are Browsing hard, just can't keep up. We planted on May 10th I believe. Notil with a 36" row planter, then come back with the same planter in between the rows. so you end up with 18" rows.

Eagle, Real World and others are no more than a very late Maturity soybean in My book. You can accomplish the same thing planting your own late maturity bean for 1/2 the cost and have them Roundup Ready. That way you can seed twice the plants helping with weed suppression as well.
Lots of food in your plots -- heavy fertilizer and lots of soybean seeds seem to be working well. Think I will seed my soybeans at a heavier seeding rate next year. I like the over seeding early like you have done. I overseeded all beans and some of the corn with Ptt several weeks back. Our beans are getting hit hard and do not look nearly as good as yours -- wish they did!Perfect weather here in Missouri, lots of rain. My Beans in Minnesota, not so good. Way behind!
