[QUOTE="hayray, post: 535813, member: 3046"] I grow turnips. I planted my first crop last August and graze them into middle January. Planting the turnips is cheap and I estimated I got around 4 to 6 tons per acre of dry matter. Using the turnips extended my grazing season 3 months and saved me thousands in hay, I can't afford not to use them, I plan on planting some every year. I strip grazed them and at first the cows eat the greens and then the bulbs. The greens are close to 20 percent protein and the bulbs are around 12 so they are a complete feed. I don't know what happened with some of the planting that the previous post referred to but they must had some problems with crop establishment or growing season for them to not have had good experiences.
