    OK fellow plotters I really need some help as I would like to avoid another year of failures.

    Ive been in that exact scenario before myself. I would definitely up the seed rate, broadcast into the weeds and grasses, spray and roll it. I didnt cut the vegetation afterwards, I felt the rolling would be sufficient and as it dies down it wouldnt be too thick to smother the seeds I planted...

    2020 Eagle Soybeans

    Ive planted eagles before, however I cant just justify the cost for the results. They were always mowed to the dirt by August. This year I went with regular ag beans, planting heavier and fertilizing I got a real nice stand of beans. Ive never been able to get them to canopy but it may happen...

    Im in New Jersey and I usually plant my brassicas in the middle of August. I found if I plant them earlier, I end up with rotting turnips and radishes in January.

    Soybean plot fertilizing and lime

    Anyone broadcast seeding into beans?

    I have one food plot of about 5 acres. I plant beans in the spring. Late July I broadcast brassicas in the bare spots followed by rye and wheat around labor day. I have a high deer density so my beans never canopy. I have done this the last few years and have food the whole season.

    2016 Covert Blackhawk Wireless Camera

    I have the new 2016 Coverts and hate them. My cameras have been down more than they been working. It sucks when your farm is 800+ miles away. The Reconyx cell cam is the most reliable on the market

    deer disappeared

    I had lots of deer hammering my Eagles until the farmer across from me put in beans last month. His field is much larger than mine and the deer seem to have shifted to feeding in his fields. But Im ok with it, my beans have doubled in size since he planted them. I have a decent bean field here...

    Brassica Dilemma - What Would You Do?

    I would wait a few days to see what sprouts, then rebroadcast more into the thin areas followed up by by broadcasting ceral grain into any remaining bare areas around labor day. I usually do beans followed by brassicas and cereal grain. Plots are usually pretty full
