[QUOTE="Popcorn, post: 5003355, member: 20151"] Corn is very needy. It requires a narrow range of PH, a big need for nitrogen and a incredible amount of water but not much over that. It also needs amounts of things most people are not aware of like phosphorous and boron. To make it worse corn is technically a grass that cannot compete. Without good soil, liberal amounts of fertilizer and chemicals, lots of attention and the right amount of rain corn can quickly go south. Forage beans require no nitrogen (they make their own) will grow in a wide variety of soils, are not as PH picky and if planted at a good rate will out compete most weeds and grasses. They do like to be planted following a cover crop and they do like rain but are far more forgiving. As long as the beans make good seed to soil contact (1/2 to 3/4 inches deep) and a decent amount of rain, thats all. Its a bean just like your garden beans. Eagle seed has the round up ready feature that sure is nice when it comes to planting in previously problem areas. You will love em! [/QUOTE]
