Buck it Double Trouble (Turnip/Rape)

Description

Double Trouble is a one-two punch of turnip and rape that fits a wide range of soils, growing environments and season long forage availability.  Early in the fall deer graze on the leafy turnip tops and palatable rape leaves.  Then they move on to destroy the nutritious turnip bulbs as fall progress into winter and the annual gun season opens.
