Anyone ever tried these? Says they grow up to 6 feet tall and can be planted with corn. They will grow up the stalk of corn. Very high in protein. Will these work in a 1 acre foodplot or will the deer not let them establish?
 
I have a high deer density and they demolished 1 acre. I am going to try 2 acres of it this year and see how it holds up. Within the exclusion cage, it performed great.
 
Would it be better to plant it along with corn? Would that help it get established. What about using a plot saver? Does that stuff work in keeping the deer out while it is establishing?

Planting with corn won't help it get established, but corn and their climbing variety of bean go well together.

Plotsaver only works if deer have a lot of other things to eat. If your food plots are the only food around at spring planting, deer will wear them out the instant they pop out of the ground, plotsaver or no plotsaver.

They only ways to get good stands of soybean are 1) have lots of other good food sources available in spring; and/or 2) large acreage in food plots.

They are good to have with another perennial such as clover. Visit http://www.growingdeer.tv/archive/ to learn more about this type of soybean from Grand Woods.

I definitely would NOT plant a major annual into a perennial plot unless you can always drill the annuals in. Otherwise you will destroy the expensive perennial every time the ground needs to be turned/disked.

I didn't mean actually sowing the soybeans in with the clover. I meant soybeans are more efficient if there is clover (separately) in the plot to give the deer another choice so they don't mow down the soybeans.
