Default Bio-Maxx

The Bio-Maxx is looking great and the deer are absolutely pounding it! I can't tell ya'all how much this stuff has impressed me! I would have never guessed it would have grown and developed like it has. Both the corn (ears) andthe thickness of the soybeans are just awesome! Next year, I'm planting a LOT more acreage in this stuff!



Look how heavily the deer have browsed the beans!

I put a couple acre plots in Bio-Maxx for the first time this year, fantastic stuff. I also seeded over with Maximum about a month ago. Buffet Style!

I agree - thie biomax did better than I gave it credit for. I think the key probably is to keep the corn less dense than as if you row planted it - for the soybeans to really do well.

Thanks for the posts this year on this plots progress

I you like bio-max try mixing your own and instead of using regular beans try using forage beans. The deer kept it mow to the ground through july, thenthey switch to the carbs and my vines are chest high and loaded with pods.

I don't believe the Bio-Maxx uses the standard "soybeans" that are in all the Ag fields you typically see? They look to be 2 different varieties as well. However, I experiement with different soybeans/forage soybeans every season and I look forward to continuing to do so in the fututre. There is just NOTHING out area der prefer more all season long than a soybean diet!

The Biomaxx I used for testing had 3 different Delta King varieties commonly sold in my area. They were a 4.7, 4.9, and 5.3 maturing soybean from Delta King Seed that just went out of business. These are early maturing for our area and are short, normal leaved standard RR soybeans.
