Purple Top Turnips
Turnips are a cool season annual that are extremely high in protein and highly digestible for deer.
rotein contents can range from 15 to 20 percent in the leaves and the roots. A well maintained food plot of turnips can produce more than 8 tons of forage per acre. This high level of production makes turnips excellent for planting in small food plots. Turnips do well in a wide range of soils but the best production comes in soils in the 6.5-6.8 ph soil ranges. Purple Tops reach maturity in 75-90 days, and get sweeter and more attractive to deer with each frost.
Broadcast at a rate of 6 Lbs. per acre.
