Just regular soys, nothing special. Probably would throw some black oil sunflowers in as well.
Lots of ideas.

I would think soys would be pounded into a oblivion pretty quick in a field that small up in the mountains.

Seriously Bake, the soys in the power plant are about a foot tall.
There are deer, but not in large numbers. One doe killed in the past 5 years, and no bucks since 2011.
420 acres, and less sign now than 4 years ago.

I think soybeans are about as good as anything. The deer love the young plants, and after the beans dry and the plants turn brown, the deer come back for late season. They seem to love the dried beans.

Any update on the power plant?

I would not plant it again, at this point.
Will see how the sorghum is used in the next month or so.
The beans were eaten, but then dried up and I don't think they are in them now.
Next year, the entire one acre will be soys, then brassicas for the fall.

They will be back in those dried up beans. They love them in late season. Especially during Monday night football games!
