Notes on varieties:

Sugar Beets – quick-growing brassica that provides great grazing for deer in the fall; preferred in grazing mixes by wildlife; can regrow after limited grazing; robust taproot

Appin Forage Turnip – bred for fast, vigorous establishment and quick maturity; firmly anchored in the ground for minimum waste; significantly higher proportion of leaf yield compared to other turnips; multi-crowned for improved re-growth potential; high leaf-to-bulb ratio; high digestibility

Purple Top Turnip – provides both nutritious top growth as well as a large root for grazing

Sunn Hemp – summer annual legume that can grow as tall as 6 feet; can produce a large cluster of nutritious leaves from a single stem; doesn’t require super high fertility to be established and productive; high potential for regrowth after grazing; nitrogen producer; first frost will end the growing season for sunn hemp

Twister Brassicaa hybrid rapeseed x turnip cross; developed for forage and cover crop use; highly palatable green top; excellent in grazing mixes; can be combined with other brassica species, providing earlier forage than turnips or radishes; a great addition to wildlife food plots; whitetail deer prefer them earlier in the season

Bayou Kalea hybrid cross of rapeseed/kale; overwinters better than most other brassicas; produces a nice taproot surrounded by dense fibrous roots
