Ever Plant Tecomate LabLab Plus?

I usually plant soybeans, but the hogs ate all the bean seeds on five acres within five days of planting. About a month later, I decided I needed to try something else since I had already fertilized and still had a clean seed bed ready for planting. Decided to try some of the Tecomate Lablab Plus - a sweep the floor mix of lablab, ebony peas, sorghum, and sunflowers. Got good germination, but it appears the ebony peas pretty much took over. This stuff isnt roundup ready, so weeds quickly invaded - especially coffee bean - to 12 ft tall. The peas have overtaken the coffee bean. This planting is a jungle. But, it looks like there is going to be next to no pod production for later on. The peas are just now blooming - and not very much at that. Deer are walking through it, but cant really see where they have been eating it. Soybeans on neighboring row croppers field are now yellowing - so may the deer will switch to mine. Question - has anyone every planted this mix and did it produce and type of bean pod? As you can see in the picture - plenty of vegetative growth.

I planted Lab Lab last year and was happy with the results. The growth was awesome. I planted sunflowers to give the Lab Lab something to climb It took the deer a while to start browsing on the Lab Lab but they eventually ate it all the way down.
 
I planted it in Sorghum and it has climbed to the top of the sorghum. I have not seen any pea pods and did not see any blooms. The deer and nuisance bears are tearing both plants to the ground.
