Roasted soybeans

[Sam 270]

Has anybody used roasted soybeans in feeder mixed with corn. Do the deer eat it

 

[Baddog 0302]

Don't know about deer , but I think some people roast the frozen ones, with flavored seasoning salts and then eat them like roaster peanuts

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Yep, deer eat em.

Yep, deer eat em.

But they prefer Cajun boiled peanuts

I know they smell good enough to eat when they are being roasted. A Coop in Wisconsin let me check out it's bean roaster in operation a few years ago.

Going to try some mixed with corn if I can find them

I'd think if you just got a small coffee bean roaster you could "brew your own"?

We mix it with our corn. I put several sample spots near our feeders, in front of cameras, they love them. Moved my reolink to a telephone pole with nothing else around and poured a 32oz. cup of roasted soybeans on the ground in front of the camera. They were there every night for about an hour, even kept coming back for about a week after they were gone. 36% protein.

Brewton feed and hay is your closest Tucker Milling Company dealer. They may stock them. If not they can get them.

Yes deer love it, most co-ops sell it also. We used it last year for the first time, with good results.

Anyone seen it as a bulk bag just of the beans? I checked Amazon and it looked like 7 lbs was as big a bag as you could get there.

Is the mix cheaper than corn only for the feeder? What about roasted soybeans only? Is it cheaper than corn? I'm trying to understand what makes it more attractive than just plain ole corn?

7 lbs of beans only is $20 on Amazon, do I don't think you'll likely find a 40# bag of beans. Thus, the "mixes".

Soybeans are chock full of protein. Deer ain't dumb! Corn may help fatten em up and they'll eat it, but I bet they'd druther the beans.

I was serious about using a coffee roaster on them tho.

Quick google shows someone made a soybean roaster. Group buy perhaps??

Innovative roaster for soybeans - All About Feed

A South African agricultural engineer has developed a soy bean roaster for farmers to process their harvest on-farm as a feed addition.

Or this.

Next time I'm in Deluna coffee, I'm going to ask them if they would/could do a "run" of soybeans and how much would be required to merit if so. May be that a coffee bean roaster isn't workable given the specialized machines shown above.

Any interest in a group buy?

50 # bag of roasted soybeans are $26.50 where I get them. They are 36% protein, great for putting on weight and antler growth. Most of the bags that have corn and pnuts mixed are only only 12% protein, because they are mostly corn.

G&D farms in Tanner williams and Grove hill have them for $20 per bag. I believe 40# bag

Growers Supply in Frisco City Alabama has all of your feeder stuff like the roasted soy beans bulk and bags they also specialize in food plot stuff. There is also a Farmers Coop there for other things as well.

Surprised you can get them that low, but that's great. Amazon had only "food grade". If you're not having to certify keeps cost down.
Good info!!

Ima check Chavers in Milton and I'll report what I find there.

Growers supply is $20 for a 40# bag. Or $.42 per pound bulk. If you can find a Tucker Milling Company dealer, they can get the 50# bags.
