Soybeans - For Wildlife Food Plots

Warm season annual legume produced for seed and wildlife food.

Soybeans are very attractive to deer from the onset of emergence. Very important food source for doves, duck, rabbit, quail and turkey. Soybeans are especially attractive to wildlife because they also offer cover.
