Question

This spring I planted forage beans for the first time.  I used Eagle Seed Large Lad and had great luck.  What specific variety of Eagle Seeds do you use?  Do you have any recommendations for growing them?

David,

I also have had great success with the Large Lad forage soybeans from Eagle Seed.  I primarily plant them and the Wildlife Manager’s mix, depending on my mission for the plot.  The Large Lad variety produces more bean pods than the Wildlife Manger blend.  However, the Wildlife Manger blend will produce green forage a bit later during the fall.

Eagle Seed forage beans are very easy to grow and manage.  I simply ensure the plots are adequately fertilized and keep the weeds controlled.  They are a great tool for deer managers!

Growing Deer together,
