Antler King Sugar Beets Seed

Late season is won with energy, not greens. Most plots are out of both by December.

The leaves carry the early season and the roots carry the end of it.

Energy When It Matters: The roots hold energy-rich nutrition that sits in the ground after maturity. When temperatures drop and deer burn through reserves, that is the food they come for.

Early Season Greens: Before the root ever matters, the protein filled leafy tops feed deer through summer and early fall. One planting works two different parts of the year.

Plant It Clean and Plant It Alone: Sugar beets do not compete well with other varieties. Kill the weed competition first, then till, culti-pack, broadcast the seed, and culti-pack again. That sequence is what gives you a stand.

Handles Your Soil: Sandy, loam, or clay all work as long as drainage is good and moisture comes through. Ideal pH runs 6.0 to 8.0.

Holds Deer Into Winter: Plant in spring or summer and the plot is waiting when the season turns. You end up sitting over a field they have been visiting for months.

The last weeks of the season belong to whoever still has food.
