The soil in my food plots on our farm are pH adjusted and heavily fertilized. I don't spare any expense on them. They get limed every other year and fertilized during the summer and fall. We have good sandy loam soil too.

I planted Diakon radishes with the turnip greens 2 years in a row. They ate the Radish greens down to the ground but never touched the turnip greens. They will also eat Rape here, but absolutely won't touch turnip greens.


Odd!! The only way to know is just ask one and then they usually just look at you strange. grin

Rape is like Austrian Peas for me. Usually doesn't make it mid November.
