Northern agriculturar crop question?

[OHBowhunter]

I was scouting a farm I hunt every year today. The main field gets rotated every year between corn and soy beans. There are two fields that normally do not get planted, just cut fields. This year to my surprise these fields got planted, But with what I'm not sure. all the soy fields here now are 2 feet tall, dark green, and all have beens on them. These two fields kind of look like young soy bean plants. They are only about 8-10 inches tall very light green and now just flowering. No beans or other fruit for me to judge. Its about 6 acres of this. Between the corn and back wood line. Now I have never seen soy beens planted this late in the year, and the farmers usually don't plant anything else. Whatever it is it is looking like a great feeding place for the deer well into bow season.Any ideas on what else it could be is my question? Or why the late crop of soy?

Our last soybeans went in about 3 weeks ago , after wheat, referred to as second crop beans,he might not have had wheat in but planted late soybeans....just to get the field under cultivation....

Thanks Ron . After searching through pictures I'm now sure they are soy. Will these plants yield a crop this year and be prime food for the deer come October? They usually tend to stay out of the bean fields after they start to brown and drie up. Also dose this do somthing for the soil to help next years crop?

You should get a bean crop off them. I always plant my soybeans later on so that the deer are still hitting them during early season and there are always beans on them for later.
