Pioneer MG 4.x Soybean (Enlist E3)
GoodCorteva Agriscience (Pioneer)
MG 4 is the dominant maturity for the Upper Southeast and is widely double-cropped behind winter wheat across Tennessee, Kentucky, and northern Arkansas. Pioneer's Enlist E3 trait is well-positioned here for resistant Palmer amaranth control. Frogeye leaf spot resistance is increasingly important — verify per variety.
Eagle Seed Big Fellow RR Forage Soybean
ExcellentEagle Seed Co.
Forage-type soybeans (indeterminate, late-maturing) are widely regarded as the highest-protein summer-and-fall food plot for whitetail in the Upper Southeast. Eagle's Big Fellow line is a long-running food-plot-specific genetic platform that holds up through season-long browsing better than commercial soybean varieties.
