[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1069634, member: 14544"] The turnips will help to break up the hard pan, but the thinner, longer root rape will do a better job of it. There is something like a 30% increase in production of wheat ground the year following canola- which I believed was renamed because someone didn't like the term dwarf rape. Part of it is due to decreased weeds, but I think a significant part of it is due to break up of the hard pan. Cattle will eat turnips like has been mentioned over winter, but they will also pull or dig them up and can leave the ground a little tore up. Some around here will add them into wheat or rye on sandy ground to provide a quick anchor. Got some dwarf rape... I mean canola, planted on two of our best deer spots this year for the first time. I haven't seen much deer sign while driving around, but haven't even been archery hunting once and missed muzzle loading season completely. But, I planned to hit the archery stands hard at the peak of the rut this year, which should be in about a week or 2 so hopefully they'll be interested in it by then. [/QUOTE]
