What food plot varieties work best in Louisiana?

Robbie,
Eagle Seed forage soybeans have been shown by several universities to produce more tons of digestible, high quality forage than almost any other crop that deer prefer! Deer consume the foliage during the summer and the bean pods during the winter. It can truly be a 10 month per year crop! However, deer find these soybeans so attractive, that small-sized plots can be over-browsed when the seedlings are young unless protected by an electric food plot fence.
The size of the plot that won’t need any protection depends on the number of deer in the area and the availability of other high quality foods. If your food plot is large enough, I doubt you will find a better crop!
Growing Deer together,
Grant
