Default Soy Bean Plant Color - which do deer prefer?

Got a chance to go up to Michigan to put the finishing touches on my stand locations last Friday.

I do not get the chance to scout atual deer movement and feeding since I live 180 miles away.

My question is this....

Near my hunting property there are areas of (3) different color beans. The farmers must have delayed planting a few fields a couple weeks apart.

In any event, within a 1/4 mile in any direction, deer in my area could chose to eat beans from plants that are still green, plants that have already turned yellow, or plants that are already brown.

Which will they prefer?

(The green plants appear to have mature beans already on them.)
