Sugar Beets are not only a top choice for sugar production but also make an excellent dual-purpose food plot plant. Deer are drawn to both the leafy tops for forage and the sugary roots, which they dig up and consume throughout the late fall and winter. Each sugar beet can reach a mature weight of 2-4 lbs., providing a substantial food source for deer. As cooler weather sets in, the sugar content in the roots increases, making them an even more attractive and nutritious food source during the colder months.
