SUMMARY

Purpletop turnips deliver two feed sources from one planting: leafy tops for fall grazing and sugar-rich bulbs that carry livestock and wildlife into winter. A staple brassica in cover crop and grazing blends across the Southern Plains.

TWO FEED SOURCES

Leafy tops in fall, energy-dense bulbs through winter.

FROST SWEETENING

Cold converts bulb starch to sugar and palatability jumps.

FALL GRAZING

Extends the grazing season past the first frosts.

EASY ESTABLISHMENT

Small seed establishes readily in a firm fall seedbed.

COVER CROP FIT

A standard brassica component in cover blends.

WILDLIFE DRAW

Deer work both the tops and the bulbs.

PLANTING WINDOW

Time the fall planting so bulbs size up before hard freeze.
