[QUOTE="Dave, post: 530700, member: 498"] I planted some in my wintering area a few years ago after the cows went to grass. They grew fine. When I rotated the cows through there the cows sure liked them. I think I get more production from oats and/or annual rye grass. And my seed cost are less with annual rye. Turnips work best to rotate them behind another crop like wheat or peas. Somewhere that the ground is already worked up or at least very little tillage is required. In the end with my system they weren't very cost effective. I know a guy who used them behind irrigated wheat in north central Oregon. He liked how the cows did on then but all the sand the cows ended up eating when they pulled up the roots was too hard on their teeth. He ended up switching to triticale. [/QUOTE]
