Forage Soybeans were specifically selected for their exceptional late-season, leafy characteristics. Unlike traditional grain soybeans, which shed their leaves and expose pods as the season progresses, Forage Soybeans rarely lose their leaves, providing a lush, nutritious forage well into the fall, making them a deer magnet during early archery season. For Northern Climates plant in May-June, for southern regions, planting is recommended in July or August to preserve this late-season, leafy characteristic and ensure optimal growth.
