"Full Description:\nMany experienced land managers consider soybeans to be the best crop to grow in their plots. Soybeans can provide a high quality food source to the deer on your property for the majority of the year. Deer will start browsing on soybeans as soon as they germinate and continue feeding on them through the entire growing season. Once the soybean plants have matured, deer will feed off the soybean grain inside the pods.<br /><br />50LB = 1 Acre<br /><br />Real Worlds new “Generation-2” soybeans is a blend of 4 different soybean varieties with maturities ranging from 4.0 to 5.4 and are better for wildlife food plots than other soybeans for these reasons.\n<ul>\n\t<li>They produce a tremendous amount of forage and grain to feed your deer throughout the entire hunting season. Forage soybeans often die and provide nothing after the first frost.</li>\n\t<li>They are shatter resistant, meaning the soybean grain will stay within the pods where deer can readily consume it.</li>\n\t<li>They are higher in oil content than most other soybean varieties. High-oil soybeans are more attractive to hungry whitetails and provide higher levels of important nutrients.</li>\n\t<li>Real World soybeans are also “glyphosate tolerant” meaning that you can spray glyphosate herbicide right over the top of your soybean plots to keep them weed free. Glyphosate is an easy-to-acquire, over-the-counter herbicide that will kill weeds but not harm your Real World soybean plants.</li>\n</ul>\n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>You can add to the drawing power of your soybean plot by over-seeding Real Worlds Plot Topper into the plot once the soybean plants start turning yellow. Do not try to over-seed in soybeans that are still green, or germination rates will be very poor.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Notes – Soybeans have a unique ability to grow within the space they are provided. If your soybean stand is sparse, each plant will have more room to bush-out and grow taller. If the plants are crowded, they will not get as tall and produce as much grain per plant.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>An application of a pre-emergent herbicide will keep your plot free of weeds for a period of time. This varies by a number of factors such as soil types and weather patterns. Eventually the pre-emergent herbicide will wear off and weeds will start to appear in your plot. When this happens, it is important to spray these weeds as early as possible. Spraying 3″ tall weeds is better than waiting until they are 6″ tall. Bigger weeds become much harder to kill. BE CAREFUL WHAT HERBICIDE YOU SPRAY ON YOUR SOYBEANS! Real World Generation-2 soybeans (both regular and northern blends) are “glyphosate tolerant”, meaning glyphosate herbicides will not kill them. You can buy glyphosate from Real World Wildlife Products. Warning – some glyphosate products also contain other chemicals that will kill your soybeans. Make sure you spray a herbicide that contains only glyphosate only!\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Maintenance – Weed control is the most important thing for achieving a good soybean food plot. This ALWAYS starts with the application of a good pre-emergent (residual) herbicide onto a totally weed free plot! Apply the preemergent herbicide either right before or right after planting (before the soybeans germinate). Real World Wildlife Products sells a quality pre-emergent herbicide for soybeans that is compatible with the soybean seeds we sell.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Planting – Soybeans are very easy to grow and can be planted several ways. The goal is to get the seed covered with about 1-inch of soil. If you have a planter or grain-drill, that is fantastic. If not, you can broadcast the soybean seed and then cover it by dragging the plot or disking it very lightly. Make sure the seed is not more than 1 ½ inches deep. If some of the seed is exposed on top of the ground, it can still grow as long as it gets adequate moisture.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Site Prep – Start by spraying your soybean plots in the spring to kill any vegetation. When it is time to plant prepare a good seedbed by disking or tilling the ground so that it is primarily free of bigger dirt-clods. The soil does not need to be worked into a power-fine consistency but just free of large clods.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Planting Date – Plant soybeans after the soil temperature has reached 60-degrees. Planting too early can result in poor germination rates and planting too late will have a negative impact on forage and grain production. For most of the country the ideal planting time will be during the month of May through June. If farmers in your area plant soybeans watch when they are planting their fields and plant your plots a week or two later. This will encourage the local deer to start feeding in the farmers soybean fields first and better allow your smaller soybean plots to become established without excessive deer browsing pressure.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n"
