| 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. |

| Big Fellow RR 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. |

| 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. |

| "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." Text is courtesy Hay and Forage Grower. Copyright 2009. |
