Anyone ever try to plant soybeans around late august for an early season attraction plot? If so, how did it work out? If this drought carries on into fall, I thought about doing this with some leftover seed that was given to me instead of planting my perennial and having a failure due to lack of moisture. It wouldnt bother me as much if the beans failed. I know it wouldnt be enough time to produce beans, but it should provide some browse. What do you all think?
 
I am giving up plans for food plots. Ground so hard could not disk it up anyway. This drought is a big one. Will not end soon.Will be interesting hunting I think. No crops,,no food plots.
 
I totally agree with you. I just hate to completely throw in the towel. Hopefully this will turn around soon but im not holding my breath.
 
I think this would b excellent for oct til it gets really cold (maybe nov?). If u wanted a shot at an oct hunt- this would b excellent. Personally, I'd plant it around early to mid August. Won't hurt a little earlier, they'll b a little bigger/more food & plenty tender. If u planted too late u may end up with too little forage- could end up being 3" beans that r wiped out instantly. I'd do a littler "earlier" on the late planted beans vs later. My 2 cents.

I am pretty sure that a few big ones will be shot regardless of no food

Plots or not. This drought will end at some time. If you get a rain with nothing

planted you wil miss out. Just my .02.
 
Luckily the ground is still somewhat soft. I ran the rototiller through it in late spring and it seems to be holding up well.
 
I will be planting fall plots in the coming weeks...rain or no rain. If I have to broadcast and they wait on a rain...that is fine by me.

Rains could start coming next week....maybe not till September (or later). Spending money for plots is a hobby so it is all spent for enjoyment as opposed to make money for me. If I plant and they do not make, well that gives me more reason to go play at the farm in say September/early October to over seed with winter rye :D
 
If the drought breaks and your neighbor decided to plant a plot...you will probably wish you had one as well :D
