RE: Texas Food Plots
Most soybeans are sensitive to drought. Soybeans that are trying to fill pods in this heat will hurt worse than a later maturing variety that is still in the vegetative state. We bred some forage type soybeans for this very purpose that are much more drought tolerant. Much like a hybrid, the root system is able to scavenge for moisture more readily than a racehorse variety that shines on an irrigated soil. Side by side comparisons to lablab are in favor of soybean. Our plots have some new lines at over 72 inches tall. We have also bred the roundup ready gene into the wild viny type that has excellent drought tolerance and massive tonnage per acre. I will try to post some pics. Brad.
