unclefish and other food plotters
Mr Unclefish, 
I read some of your post in the QDMA where you seeded and then pushed and or cut the grain for use as a covering thatch for replanting your next rotation crop. I understood you went with a much heavier seeding rate and did get a stand. I think it was a jungle seed mix. So I am asking what u think about this situation? I have 3 eaglebrand soybean food plots that has been feeding deer day and night since July 1. Some of these beans are so tall I have deer in one plot where u have to look real close to see the deer in the beans. Other 2 plots have barley kept up with the forage but they continue to produce and the deer continue to be in the plots day and night. Beans are covered in flowers and should produce some good amounts of pods. I am not sure how I want to approach this next step, so I think u might have some experience here and would like your opinion. I am not sure how to approach this. but I will spread the Rye seed (over seed) among the beans just before fall rains and hope they take, which will save the been seed pods for eating later, or to use your method of seeding and cut the beans for a covering thatch, but concerned the beans might produce to much thatch and would reduce sprouting.
I could cut and disk in the beans and then plant the rye Grain, but lose the bean seed pods. So what do u think? I will have other food plots for winter but I like to keep a lot available. I will have about 13 acres +- in 1 to 2.5 acrea plots here on E Texas property. I was hoping to post this here and not pm as I hoped others would learn from my trial and errors
