Brian -

If you haven't yet - don't mow the beans. The deer will eat them pods & all - when they are brown - and when the shatter. In the south - sometimes they mow & even disk to get a new plot going with the seeds - That works GREAT - unless you are in the north - and the next frost wipes out the whole crop.

Mowing the Rye - wont hurt nothing though - in fact - if you planted Rye early - and the crop gets above 8-10" - then I would suggest mowing for rye - deer will hardly touch it if it gets stalky.
