Man,

I must say, this thing is looking awesome! Nice work man. What company are you using to host this? I think this is the direction I need to go with planetwhitetail.com. Again, very nice work!

Mali great site and glad I found it. rendeer

The BF soybeans have sprouted great at my loacation. Looks like a bumper crop if the good growing conditions continue.

Couldn't resist the emoticons. Didn't want your work to go un-noticed Exclamation

Charles. Glad you found the site and thanks for coming on board.

FYI: You were the last person I mailed the Eagle Seed to without putting the bags in boxes. You had emailed me saying that the seed arrived but the bags were in bad shape. So I called UPS and they made me start shipping those bags in boxes. So, I had to order custom boxes for the seed and to be honest, I like it that way much better!

Glad your seed is coming up. Keep me posted and post up some pictures!!

Sorry about the UPS issue, but I could see a customer getting a bursted bag of seed.

Planted some of the Big Fellow beans in the outer rows of my rr corn and also a pure patch. I've had some lost corn and bean seed production due to the rain water in low spots, but the plots are looking very good overall. Nice healthy sprouts.

As you know, those beans are Roundup Ready and when you go over top with a Roundup application, I would recommend you mix in some Liquid Sevin to help with insects. Of course there are stronger, more expensive insecticides that will last longer but for the money, the Sevin will work. Insects can sometimes wait till mid June or July to attack. Keep a close eye on the leaves to see if they are being eaten.

Good luck and snap some pictures!

Thanks for the advice on the Sevin. I was going to post a question about insecticide mixing with the roundup.

Subject: Re: Welcome to our Forum! Fri Jun 05, 2009 10:07 am

I have used several insecticides over the years. Some are short term insect killers, while others are long term, residual. Some of the agriculturally used long term insecticides are Tombstone and Warrior. Both of these chemicals are restricted use and can last into 80-95 days. Meaning, you mix with herbicide spray and the insecticide will kill all insects present and kill any that bite the plants or dig into the soil. Pretty aggressive stuff.

Typically I used treated seed and long term insecticide on warm season annual food plots like Corn, Soybean, Cowpeas and Lablab. Insects can ruin your investment really quick. However, for clover/alfalfa and chicory food plots, I use the short term insecticides, mostly because of turkeys! Turkeys love to "Bug" in flowering clover/alfalfa & chicory fields. Clover/alfalfa and chicory are susceptible to "Leaf Hopper," which is a tiny mite that can really work over these types of perennial plots. Rather than eat the plant(in most cases), Leaf Hopper will suck the innards(inside matter) of the plant, leaving the leaves purple-ish to blue-ish in color. Some falsely identify this as a Potash deficiency when in fact, it is Leaf Hopper damage.

You can find these little critters hiding underneath clover leaves and they look like teeny-tiny white moth the size of a pin head.

So, if you do a short term insecticide, you can eliminate the problem and turkeys can still enjoy their bugs in a little while(as opposed to the long term insecticdes). The downside of insecticide applications is that you will kill off advantageous insects like Praying Mantis and others that are not visiting or living in the plot for plant consumption. But rather, they are there feasting on other insects!

Hope this helps!

I made it as well. Time to start looking around. Our Eagle beans we picked up from Mali were put in on Memorial weekend and as of last week were up and looking good. Heading over tomorrow for some maintenance and will get some pics

Thanks and welcome. Bear with us as we mold this site into what I think it is capable of. Glad to hear your beans are doing well. Those things are pretty aggressive and with all the rain we have had, they should be happy. Please post up some pictures of your planting project when you get the opportunity.
