The summer-plot crops that Kinkel suggests are Roundup Ready soybeans and
some of the new hybrids from Eagle Seed Company in Arkansas.  Eagle's Big
Fellow RR soybeans yield an incredible amount of leafy Forage through the
summer, which provides food for deer.

"Deer want the leaves more than the beans, and you can even mix them in with
something like milo or corn to create some incredible forage, " says Kinkel.  
"Some of the newer "runner" beans grow up the stalks and produce a huge
volume of food, and with the Roundup
Ready corn and beans you get a two-season annual crop."
Kinkel has been consulting with a project in central Georgia known
as the Ocmulgee Banks, where he's been testing and analyzing
the Big Fellow RR beans.  

"I'm blown away -- some of the plots are producing 14,000 pounds of food per
acre, he says.  "I've seen their crops grow to six feet tall in poor soils.  The
growth is so great in these fields that deer are not only feeding in them, but
bedding in them as well."

"Now I think I've finally come upon the best area crop for a
summer plant: soybeans.  But not just any soybeans.  These
are special varieties developed by Eagle Seed Company...
They have developed "beans" that
grow twice as tall as
regular soybeans, with
much larger leaves.  The beans are
"Roundup Ready" so weed competition can be controlled.  
Most importantly, they've developed soybeans aimed
primarily at providing forage with the leaves, not seeds to be
harvested in the fall.

The key advantage is that these beans have a longer growing cycle before they bloom.  Even after most
soybeans bloom, these can continue growing and
producing high-protein forage for deer (or cattle) for
up to six weeks longer.

In fact, these soybeans grow so tall that deer will not only eat the leaves, but they'll bed down in fields of
them and use the vegetation as cover.  Most importantly of all, though, perhaps for our area is that they
are
drought tolerant.  

Large Lad RR is another soybean offered by Eagle Seed.  This is the official soybean of the Mississippi
Fisheries and Wildlife Department.
 It has excellent deer-browsing tolerance and can grow up to 84 inches
high.  It is also very bushy and is resistant to most foliar diseases, phytophthora root rot, stem canker and
several races of nematodes.  

Its bushy nature makes this an excellent choice for other small game species and quail.  One study done
in Georgia on the Ocmulgee Banks Farm showed that Eagle Seed soybeans yielded seven tons of forage
per acre...this spring after I put in some Big Fellow RR and Large Lad RR soybeans I'll have something
substantially green, and high in protein for the local deer to dine on when the clover dries up in early
summer.

Secrets to Successful Warm-Season Food Plots
By Brian Sheppard
For maximum production, nutrition and palatability, nothing beats the large-seeded legumes.  I have
experimented with many forage varieties over the past nine years.  Lablab, ebony cowpea and
Roundup
Ready Large Lad forage soybeans
are among my favorites because I can grow them in a variety of soil types.

*Up to 36% whole plant protein
   "Two new forage soybean varieties have the potential to produce more than 9 tons of dry matter per
acre with up to 28% protein, university research has shown...Compared with other forage and food-plot
varieties, they grow taller with bigger leaves and have greater browsing tolerance.  The varieties were
grown at Southern Illinois University, LSU Ag center in Louisiana, and Oklahoma's Noble Foundation in
2008.    "They're awesome," Dr. Atkinson (forage specialist at SIU) says.  "They got up to almost 6" tall."
