If you have a local farm supply company/coop, I would start there. If not, here is a good source: http://www.welterseed.com/ProductDetails.aspx?id=472

Do you think TSC sells them?

I doubt TSC sells them, but someone at the store may know who does. Pioneer sells good seed, but they tend to be more expensive. http://www.pioneer.com/web/site/port...tte.cachetoken

Up here in Mid-west we get seed from Pheasants forever or other cons.organization, A lot cheaper, Round=Up ready County ext. are also good

Get ready to pay a lot more for round-up ready beans. Our local co-op guy says they're going to almost double this year. We got lucky and bought some leftover stuff for $9 a bag but it's supposed to go over $80 in the spring for the new stuff.

ok , dumb question ...
Is it soy beans they like ????

Soilman · 12-14-2009, 03:55 PM

They love any kind of bean. Soybeans are easiest to get in large quantity, plus you can get round-up ready soybeans for easier weed control.

Not sure if www.doeblers.com delivers to NY but I am in central Pa and they are the ones I go through for corn and soybean seed. It advertises sales on their website for the NE and mid atlantic states.

I usually plant Antler King Honey Hole for the turnips and Antler King Trophy Clover for the chicory/clover plots. I had alot of good success with Antler King products, however their mineral blocks suck- turn to mush as soon as they get damp.
