What is the best brassica for deer food plots?
Purple-top turnips are the most popular single-species brassica for deer plots — leafy tops eaten in fall, bulbs eaten after frost. Mixes (turnip + rape + radish) outperform single species. Plant 60-90 days before first frost. Brassicas peak in palatability AFTER frost converts starches to sugars.
