Hi Jamie, I had soy beans planted late last year on my 40 acres in Wisconsin. My land had been in native grasses for decades. It had roundup applied on it twice to kill off the competing grasses, and was planted in late June/early July. After they popped up and were about 6 inches tall in the second or third week of July (no rain for about 2 weeks) a third application of round up with a nitrogen fertilizer was applied in late early August. They were harvested in mid October. So a late planting that went over 100 days and yielded 42 bushel per acre. That was considered an exceptional yield for local yields. My land is hilly so it required no till procedures to eliminate soil erosion. The soy beans dropped from the harvester were a huge magnet for deer and turkeys. From Late October to mid November my fields were full of deer in the late evening hours, getting fed and fat for the coming winter. I have a Wisconsin Spotlight camera on my property. It was one of the most productive camera's in the county. Countless numbers of deer cross the river my home over looks. My neighbor across the river has always (for years) left a portion of his corn crop not harvested, so the deer have protein during the winter - to minimize winter starvation. I have begun planting food plots of beets, sweet peas,and winter wheat on my lower areas and leave them to help during the winter for deer and turkeys also. My neighbor on my side of the river (which surrounds me on all sides). It is an effort to become one with the land and to maximize the animal diversity of our region. No one owns them as they roam a much larger area than any one land owner has. But collectively we improve the ecosystem. It's enough to keep every one busy - including hunting, which I really get into after my garden is harvested - both bow and arrow/crossbow, and gun season. I try to harvest three deer a season , One for our personal organic protein consumption, and one to share with friends and senior citizens that I learned to hunt with when I was young. If I'm productive enough to get a third deer, I take it to the local meat market and have them make cold smoked German summer sausage with garlic and mustard seed in a natural casing. I give it away to a list of friends and seniors just before Christmas with my homemade salsa and sauerkraut. The colder springs and late plantings are to a degree being over exaggerated. If the land is so wet that planting is delayed by a week or two, genetically modified seeds that mature quicker are utilized. There is a huge alarmist movement that over exaggerates the negative effects of the normal climate cycles our farm land has experienced for centuries - see Grand Solar Minimum regarding sunspots and climate change. Politicians like Mayan wise men have sold a scam to the uneducated masses (with good intentions) about carbon and man's effects on our earth. It's a scam and those who preach it are those who have never met a tax they have not liked. It's the source of their power over people. The Europeans are the worst at this and thank god we walked away from the Paris climate change agreement. My land is in the Kettle Moraine land area of Wisconsin. It is where two glaciers converged ( one down the fox river valley and one down the Lake Michigan water mass )and receded, dropping the soils and rocks it pushed South for centuries. It is marked with rocks and deep lakes. Absolutely beautiful. en.wikipedia.org I'm not in the least worried about not being able to grow soy beans alfalfa or corn - no matter how short the season is. At least not in my life time. End of rant. Bob
