RE: ??? on soybeans
No-till drilling them is the best for food plots and the soils. Broadcasting and lightly disking ordraggingto get them about 1 inch deep may be your best alternative by the way it sounds though.
I'm partial to the forage beans that I sell, but that is due to more than the fact that I make a few (literally just a few) bucks off of them. It is because I have seen them peform. They are an amazing plant. As long as they get a chance to get established, they should outperform any other beans planted right next to them.
