Outsidepride Forage Rape Seed For Food Plots & Cover Crops - 20 LB

Forage brassica has the ability to withstand minus -15C frosts and retain green leaf makes rape a reliable forage brassica for winter feed. Traditionally, rape has been used as a summer lamb finishing crop and ewe flushing feed. However, cultivars with good frost resistance and better re-growth potential have extended grazing times from early summer to late winter. Rape is the most versatile of the brassicas, being suitable for a wide range of soil fertility and environmental conditions, stock classes and sowing times. Rape seed may be sown from early spring to late summer, and used 12-16 weeks later (depending upon cultivar and environment). Sowing with the plantain will increase the re-growth potential of the crop and provide a more balanced diet. Rape seed can be grown at lower soil fertility than most other brassicas, and responds well to irrigation.
