Beet & Sweets Mix
Beets & Sweets is a unique mix of sweet, low-growing sugar beets and brassicas; a hearty feast of sugary leaves, stems, and roots. The frost-tolerant foliage will stay green well into the fall. Purple top turnips provide additional extended season forage. This mix is a favorite of Deer Creek's food plot growers.
Key features
