I know many of us have seen foggy54's result with your product in a 3/4 acre strip plot and most seen your post about the test results by the noble foundation about the experiment in oklahoma. I also know there are many of us now ready to test this theory because most of us small land managers are in need of better summer nutrition plots. I know i am ,. and i plan to implement your product into my summer rotation to test it out.

The plot above is 300 ft long x 155 ft wide. Slightly over an acre. It has been planted in crimson,arrowleaf,rape, and oats the past 2 years with a follow up of buckwheat in late june. The ph value is 6.4 at last check and it sits on a ridge flat. My deer density per square mile by camera census is around 24. I also have a 1 acre clover/chicory plot and a 1/2 acre plot of some other annual. I also plant my roads with clover. Habitat improvements are being made every year, some in their 5th year of regrowth. Total acres of property is 85, but native browse is average to slightly above average on neighboring properties. My plan for this year is to plant in just oats, rape, and crimson in september. When this dies out in late may/early june i will go in and break ground and plant your soybeans. Then,. rotate back to a fall annual in mid september. Which variety do you recommend for this test and what is the seeding rate? Any other recommendations?? Also,.. were or how do i get them in tn?
Thanks ,... DC007
 
DC, We have several options. We have our two tall upright forage types Large Lad and Big Fellow and also our new viny forage type. They are all roundup ready where you can spray glyphosate on them to kill the weeds. They can be planted seperately or together in one of our blends that contain all 3. I like 50 pounds per acre if drilled or planted and about 60 pounds if broadcast. Big Fellow produces the most tonnage, and Large Lad produces the most seed. We only sell the climbing soybean with the taller varieties for support. If you want to add RR corn for the viny soybean to climb, then that is your option. I would keep the soybean seeding rate the same though. I am working with Tennessee Farmers CO-OP and they are a dealer. Contact them to get some or give me a call here in Northeast Arkansas at 870-684-7377. Brad.
 
Hey man,.. thanks!! I checked out your site,.. actually several times. The blends sound more like what would be best for me to try in my situation ,.. but which one do you recommend? Whitetail thicket, game keeper, or habitat haven. They all three sound really good,. so i need help in deciding.
 
Game Keeper in TN. The Wildlife Managers Mix has one additional earlier maturing soybean that won't benefit you as much as the northern guys. The Habitat Haven is basically the same blend without the new viny type. Game Keeper will give you maximum growth all summer long.
