If your beans don't have a lot of weeds or grass in them, you will probably do well broadcasting clover over the standing beans. The clover will probably to better by waiting on the leaf drop of the soybeans. The more sunlight the better it is for the clover up to a point and that point being too much heat till the clover is established. Clover does much better as a cool season planting. If the beans will last, they will provide a great food source till the clover gets established. Experiment a little, keep some notes and we'll all learn something.

I spent all day Saturday cleaning up my two food plot, trimming all the lower limbs and bushes that where in the way of possible shots. Limed it, disced it, cultipacked it, than seeded it. I used a fall mix that has Wheat, Rye Grain, Winter Peas, Triticale Forage Grain, Clower, Forage Turnips. The sky fell out just as we were finishing the second plot so i didn't get any pictures but i will get out there one evening this week and take some. Hopefully with some milorganite and a feeder the deer will let the plot alone for a couple weeks.
Checked one plot last night. Lots of deer tracks but its raining every day so milorganite isn't going to do much.
Finally made it out yesterday afternoon to check the other plot and i always take a rifle just in case i get a shot at a hog and i always load it right when i get in the woods....but this time i didn't load it just started walking through nasty swampy-ness. Almost made it to the plot when i heard hogs so i frozen pulled my rifle out of the case pulled the bolt back and tried to let it drop quietly. I walked around the corner to figure out which one i was going to take. Lined up on a nice 100lbs boar and click, click, dam bolt hadn't fallen all the way so the firing pin couldn't reach the round....abt that time of the hogs saw me and blow and they all took off. So i dropped the clip ejected the round and reloaded the right way this time..........I walked over and climbed up in the stand and figure i would give them some time maybe i would get lucky and they would come back in. After abt a hour i got down and walked the plot to see how everything was coming up. What the deer and hogs haven't tore up or eaten is growing in well. Something had its way with the exclosure cage... Any ways here are some pictures to give you an idea of what the plot is looking like.
I did this plot Saturday with my walk behind tiller, because I can't get my trailer/ATV down the main road yet. This will also be the last time I do this with the walk behind. That just about whipped my ass. Every time the tines would hit a rock or root it would about snatch my back out of socket. I planted one side of this tram road so I can drive the other side. It's about 300 yards long and about 15' wide. I'm sure I will have fat & sassy turkeys from it
