My whole farm is radishes. Deer hammering them is it helping with biomass? I've heard different cover crops for winter and radishes seem to be the more prevalent crop, lately.
experience is a freakin' awesome teacher....

Hell yes. I'll get some pics. Radishes knee high. It's been a blessing with all this rain holding the ground from washing

It's been a blessing with all this rain holding the ground from washing Those daikons are great for busting up hardpan and introduce a ton of biomass when they rot. We held off this year but we have planted them the past 4 years with fantastic results. This is from 2017. My buddy is about 5’11” for reference. Daikon, pasja turnip and forage rape.

Josh, when do y'all plant?
I've been waiting until the bow opener, or later, to make sure I have moisture. However, this year we had a cold snap right after I planted and it really affected the growth of my radishes and turnips

However, this year we had a cold snap right after I planted and it really affected the growth of my radishes and turnips I had to go back and look. That picture was taken on October 22nd. The field was planted on September 16th. We typically plant when there is rain in the forecast but no earlier than the middle of September. If we are not planting brassicas we will wait till the first weekend in October. The brassicas needs a couple extra weeks of growing season vs grains.

Date is subject to moisture. I planted 10# radish 5# crimson and 55# triticale in my mix. Will not plant triticale again. Will be oats or wheat next time. It can't handle the early jump the radish put on it. But where we plant cover crop wheat/rye/oats did fine. Radishes really need to go in in sept N of bham

I am sure they look pretty growing (brassicas), but will a deer eat them much before a hard freeze makes them turn to sugar? maybe I am confusing them with something else.

I planted some diakon radish mixed with wheat oats and rye this year at my house they got 18" tall and the deer wore then out they are ate down to the root right now on 2 1/2 acre fields about 40 yards apart. Planted some where I hunt several 1 acre and 1/2 acre fields. Was a waste the deer ate them off as soon as they came up and they never amounted to anything couldn't hardly find one in a field by the time gun season opened. If you have very many deer you better have big fields or you will have to mix some grain with them if you want to have something to hunt over.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

Diakon is ok but I'm seeing 2x the growth with sodbuster radishes plus more winter hardiness in the past
