dogdoc Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 My Eagle Soybeans are now 3 weeks old. I did not spray the plot pre-planting since they are RR ready. Just mowed the plot and then tilled it up good to work the green grass and weeds back in the soil to return the nutrients. Broadcasted the beans at a rate of about 50# per acre and then covered with an ATV disc. When the beans were 2 1/2 weeks old I sprayed the plot with glyphosate. I originally planted this plot with Hamann Farms clover and trefoil but due to a couple droughts and weeds it was time to start over. I got a good 5 years out of the Hamman Farms before having to start over. I didn't want to leave the plot bare so decided to plant the Eagle Soybeans. So far they are doing well. A few nibbles but the plot is large enough to handle the deer pressure at my place: Three days after spraying glyphosate: Isabella posing for my Leaf River Game Cam: Three days post mowing a two year old clover plot: I will probably overseed the soybeans this fall with wheat and brassica and then spend one more year cleaning up the plot and plan on replanting again with a Hamman Farm Perennial. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Nice looking plots Todd. Been really impressed with the eagle seeds. Have mowed our clover plots once, with all this rain they need mowed again already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
