RR and mid June
X2! Can't go wrong with RR Eagle Seed
You don't need eagle beans. Just regular RR beans will work.
Go to a farmer and ask him is he has any beans left over that are RR and keep your yap closed and get a good deal.

Yes regular ag RR beans will work, but I've planted them and eagle side by side and the difference in forage tonnage is remarkable. If you don't wanna spend the extra dough on eagle I can understand that. The eagle beans are far superior though.You don't need eagle beans. Just regular RR beans will work.

I can't say with 100% surety, as I haven't actually measured the yield... But based solely on my visual observations, I'd say the Eagle beans wins in that department as well. The ones I've been planting are the Eagle Midwest Manager's Mix RR. There are 3 or 4 varieties of beans in this mix... Forage-heavy, bean-heavy, and a climbing variety too. Not only is there more food, but they grow much taller than ag beans and provide way more cover. As we all know, cover is just as if not more important than what you're planting. Deer feel safe in these beans because they practically disappear once they get into them.Forage yes. But what about bushel per acre for late season food source?
The year I planted RR beans, I drilled in a bag of Lab Lab. It's kinda like a peas vine that climbs up your bean plants. The deer loved it! Just a thought Albert.

How true Jim! Very good points by you and Milo!Milo's right... It's all about what you need not what you necessarily want. Land availability is a good point. Most guys don't have the space let alone the equipment to plant 2 or 3 acres of beans. So if you have limited space it would make sense to plant a product that provides more forage per acre. Nobody NEEDS to spend $90 per bag for soybeans but if you want to plant eagle that's what it will cost you. The deer will eat ag beans just fine. All I'm saying is, comparing the two side by side, eagle beans are a superior product. Why is OK to shoot a new $1200 Hoyt when an old hand-me-down will kill em just as dead... But planting expensive soybeans instead of ag beans is senseless?
