Sugar beets

Anyone ever used them. Read mixed reviews. Seems like they do better in northern climates. Just wondering if anyone on here had ever tried them, and what they thought.

Down here it aint the deer magnet its talked up to be. If i get em cheap. I'll throw a handfull or two out in food plots. Worth a try. Diffrent places get different results

I planted them & radishes..The dayum radishes grow to the size of baseballs but nothing ate them in Marengo county..Now I've had great Luck with the crush sugar beets in the bag..I have a pic of the radishes I'll post a pic tomorrow..

I dont think it gets cold enough for them to sweeten up like there supposed to down here. Where do you find crushed sugar beets in a bag at

I saw that sugar beet crush with Tiffany's face on it.... $70 for a 40lb. bag....no thank you

It would have to have a picture of Tiffany's tits on it for me to even think about $70 bucks.

Yeah I get it in #5 or #10 bags the #10 costs about 19.99

Thanks for the feedback. I read when they sweeten up its like candy to them. Might be a good Feb.crop if you have room to plant, that way they'll have something to get them through til it warms up. I know last year my fields were gone before January, but at the same time it was the coldest winter we've had in the last 30 years.

Don't know about beets, but they tear the radishes up. They eat them before it frost, they're not bitter like PTT. They work great to breakup hardpan soils. The tuber gets huge, about the size of your wrist, sometimes bigger, and can be 12" long. They eat the tops, and some of the tuber.

The people around me at this resturant are wondering what I'm laughing at! Ha!
