Ours did great last year, but I'm not sure you couldn't do just as well with regular roundup ready beans. The big draw I suppose are the vining beans in the mix we used. They did make loads of small black soybeans.

they grow well and grow fast. They withstand browse very well. Up here in Ohio they did produce a lot of pods, but they pods didn't last as long as regular ag beans.
Overall, a good food plot seed.

I planted them, didn't see much advantage over ag beans. They withstand browsing better but produce less grain, which IMO is about an even tradeoff. I you're planting soybeans you should have enough acreage that the ag beans can handle the grazing pressure anyway.

I have never planted the broadside. I looked into it but just couldn't justify the price. Soybeans are a great draw but my deer love young sunflower plants over soybeans every day of the week. So when I can get a 50# bag of wheat/rye for $15, and 10 pounds of sunflowers for $5, and rape for $5 an acre it's a no brainer for me.

Broaddside is a fall plot. I won a bag of it from Alex Rutledge last year and because of the drought and receiving it late, I didn't get it planted. I am going to give it a try this fall to see how it does. If it does well, I am going to get my local seed supplier to replicate it. It think it will be a good mix.
