Guys,
I am going to plant some soybeans this weekend for some summer plots for the deer and I need to know from some of you farmer guys what I can spray on the plots after the beans have come up to kill the grasses and weeds in the plot. The co-op here is telling me that they don't have any round-up ready beans so I was going to do the regular beans. I just need to know what I can spray them with to keep them clean. Thanks in advance for the help.

8 oz. of Select plus 1% Crop Oil for grass and it depends on your broadleaf weed spectrum for the broadleaf chemical. Flexstar, First Rate, Basagran, Blazer, Cobra, etc. Keep us informed and let me know what weeds you have. I have a lot of food grade soybeans and use all different combinations according to the weed spectrum. It may be worthwhile to drive a little and pick up some RR soybeans. Chemical is cheaper and 1 to 2 applications is all you need.

Expect to pay around $27 to $33 per 50lb. bag. Choose a later maturing cultivar such as 5.7 to 7.5 if you are planting soon. The earlier maturing soybean cultivars will drydown and drop their leaves prior to frost. If you are needing the foliage as feed, plant the latest maturing they have. Don't let them talk you into a MG 4, it may yield better, but you want the tallest growthiest, latest line they have. Steve Payne with Southern Wildlife would be one to contact about "Large Lad" soybean. Hope this helps. Also, if you have a tremendous deer herd and you can't keep them out of your plots early on, a soybean is a soybean if they eat it to the ground and kill the plants.
