Garbanzo beans?

[catskillkid]

    My friend in Idaho was a wheat farmer for many years before he put his 700 acres of crop land in CRP. This year he planted 4 acres close to his house in Garbanzo beans "aka chickpeas",  it is a legume. He says the muledeer & whitetails are hammering his field every day with 2 huge bucks making appearences during midday hours.

 

    I have not heard of anybody planting garbanzos around here, has anybody tried these beans in thier NY plots, if so, how did they work out?

Interesting! Never heard of anyone planting garbanzo beans before, let alone in a foodplot. Sure sounds like it works from what your friend is experiencing!

I'd have to weigh the cost of them.... Peas are Peas deer, rabbits, apparently from my cams, raccoons, opossum..crows,robins.and turkey don't much care which pea they are eating...
