Organic Soybean
High-Protein Summer Forage with Powerful Attraction
Our certified Organic Soybean is a warm-season annual built to deliver exceptional protein and strong summer attraction. A cornerstone of serious wildlife nutrition programs, soybeans provide the essential building blocks for antler development, fawn growth, and overall herd health during peak growing months.
With rapid early growth and heavy forage production, soybeans can withstand browsing pressure when planted at proper acreage. As the season progresses, standing beans transition from leafy forage to energy-rich pods, extending attraction well into fall.
Grow bigger deer. Increase summer draw. Plant with confidence.
Benefits for Wildlife
- High-protein forage critical for antler growth and lactation
- Excellent summer attraction in high-visibility feeding areas
- Transitions to energy-dense pods for fall food value
- Fixes nitrogen to improve soil fertility
- Strong biomass production when properly established
Planting Guidelines
- Seeding Rate: 50–60 lb per acre (increase rate if broadcasting)
- Planting Depth: 1–1½ inches
- Best Planting Window: Late spring through early summer (soil temps 60°F+)
-
Site Prep:
- Plant into a clean, firm seedbed with adequate moisture
- Ensure strong seed-to-soil contact for uniform emergence
Soil & Maintenance Tips
- Conduct a soil test and adjust pH to 6.0–7.0 for optimal performance
- Avoid excessive nitrogen—soybeans fix their own nitrogen
- Monitor early weed competition to protect young plants
- Consider adequate plot size to prevent overgrazing pressure
Frequently Asked Questions
Is your organic seed certified?
Yes. Our organic seed and mixes are certified by MOSA Certified Organic.
Will this come back next year?
No. Organic soybeans are an annual crop and will need to be replanted each year.
What are organic soybeans used for in food plots?
Organic soybeans provide high-protein forage and bean pods that deer and other wildlife find highly attractive throughout summer and into early fall.
When should I plant organic soybeans?
Plant soybeans in late spring after the last frost once soil temperatures are at least 60–65°F for good germination and growth.
How much seed do I need per acre?
For best results, plant soybeans at approximately 40–60 lb per acre, depending on soil conditions and your planting method.
How deep should I plant the seed?
Plant soybeans about 1–1.5" deep in a firm, prepared seedbed to ensure proper soil contact and consistent emergence.
Do I need to fertilize when planting soybeans?
Soybeans fix their own nitrogen, but it’s still important to conduct a soil test and correct pH and nutrient levels, especially phosphorus and potassium, before planting.
What wildlife will organic soybeans attract?
Organic soybeans are highly attractive to deer, turkey, and other game species due to their leafy forage and high-energy bean pods.
