Never had much luck with soybeans but in corn, it seems to be best for us when the ears fully develope. In milo, whenever the plants head out.

Soybeans dont draw hogs much if any. 

Hogs will get into corn when its first planted untill the seed fully germinates which takes about 7-10 days depending on seed type and soil temp/moisture.  At which point the seed has used all its energy to sprout and had little to no nutrition left in it.  Hogs wont bother a corn plant from then untill it puts on a roast'n ear.  Their favorite time to eat ear corn is when its in the milk stage thats when you can press the kernals and milky fluid comes out.  As the corn ears mature and the seeds harden it becomes less desirable and hogs might move to a field that was planted later and is in a earlier stage of ear development.

Milo, Oats, and wheat are also targeted the most when in the milk stage.  I dont see hogs eating much oats or wheat after the seed heads harden.  Could be be different in areas where food is less abundant.
