soybeans

[flylo]

The topic of soybeans came up on the homesteading group. One 
gardener says to just pull up the whole bush when the soybeans 
are ripe. so I wondered if the plants were good to dry for livestock 
feeds. She didnt' think so, so I thought I'd ask someone who might 
know on this list.
Obviously, they'd be good to work back into the garden, or mulch 
into the compost pile, but if the soybeans themselves are inedible 
without cooking, then are the plants also inedible to goats?
