Ethridge, TN | Ed,
We use a fairly early wheat, Jacob from Steyer Seeds is one we have used in the past. You don't want something late or that has a tall straw to it.
Interseed the beans just before the wheat "flowers", and use a group 3 bean. The beans are going to grow fairly spindly, till you get the wheat cut, and you have to watch that you don't cut the growing points off the beans. Timing is everything, and if the wheat is still wetter than you would like to cut it, and the beans are getting close to the heads, your gonna have to cut the wheat and dry it, or take the dock. You also have to do a "good" job of spreading that straw coming off the combine. To actually make this work, you have to treat the wheat as the secondary crop. | |
