[QUOTE="WAnabee, post: 1719791, member: 42136"] I have had pretty good luck experimenting with turnips. Never noticed the gas issue but maybe that was due to the fact that I never get much below freezing and never saw the wilting? Turnip seed is real cheap, I do some light disking and broadcast in August. Timing seems important where I'm at, it seems to quit growing around mid-Nov in the PNW. I also did some turnips and SS planted late July this year, good timing for turnips, bad for SS but it worked out OK. Strip grazed in October while I stockpiled some of my fescue. Turnips seems to stay good until Dec/Jan at least and cows love to root them up. Looks like its been rototilled afterwards. Again, very temperate here and not often below freezing, just rain and mud. [ATTACH type="full"]11196[/ATTACH] This is in December, planted too late and seeded too thick, and poorly prepped seedbed. [ATTACH type="full"]11198[/ATTACH] This is a little better, the next year 2020, kale, canola, and turnips, grazing in Oct. [ATTACH type="full"]11195[/ATTACH] This year, SS and turnips mixed, planted late July, strip grazed October. [ATTACH type="full"]11197[/ATTACH] This year turnips and SS. Big bulbs. [/QUOTE]
