Can you broadcast soys? Sure. YOu can broadcast anything. Will you be pleased with the results? Only if you would be pleased with negative results. Here in michigan, we either row crop soys on tilled ground, or drill on tilled ground or no-till drill. Those who row crop swear by it, but those of us who no-till, in most cases yield as much or more than row crop. I prefer no-till because it reduces the number of trips across the field, and it also enhances weed control. The 8 inch spacing of drilling makes it harder for weeds to thrive since the soys shade the areas that weeds would take root, thus starving weeds of sunlight. It is far easier to spray 400 acres of soys per day than cultivate 100 acres or less in the same time. As mentioned, if broadcasting was remotely reasonable, we wouldnt have to spend $50,000 for a drill or planter.
