I want to try my hand at some standing grain next year and want it to be soybeans. Excuse me if I have a few dumb questions as I have never planted soybeans. My plan is to go in early summer and till up an open area on top of a ridge and plant with soybeans. The total area should come out to about 2.5-3 acres. Im going to till it, use a spreader to spread the beans and then drag and cultipack. Hopefully they grow good and I'll have beans turning yellow in the fall when I will go in and broadcast winter rye into the beans. After letting them stand what do I do the following spring so I can replant? If I till the standing beans will that be fine? Also, if the deer browse the leaves heavy in the summer will the beans still produce pods? Thank you in advance for the help. I have never planted beans and I think its the missing food source on a particular property. Any other tips feel free to throw them my way.
