2025 Abstract - METHODS USED TO MITIGATE DEER FEEDING/DAMAGE TO SOYBEAN: I have been consulting for 7 years and have been licensed since 2008. Certified in weed control, entomology, plant pathology, field soil and management. My presentation will be about ways to mitigate deer feeding/damage to soybean. I have consulted 500 acres corn, 4780 soybeans, 213 acres of rice. I had no cotton this year. I also farm corn and soybean. I farm with my brother a corn and soybean rotation. I have been farming for 4 years in areas with dense deer populations.
