Purple Top Turnips is a staple in our food plot program. They have proven themselves year over year as an incredible draw during late season hunts. We offer 3 different brassica blends and purple top turnips are a main part of each blend.
We always recommend including them in any brassica blend. However, in years past we have established some great food plots and had some exciting cold weather hunts over stand alone turnip plots. They can also be broadcasted into an already planted corn or soybean plot for added attraction. There is a period when the corn and soybeans won’t be a great forage for your local deer so the turnip tops will help to maintain your plot attraction. As winter approaches the deer will return for the carbohydrate rich bulbs as they begin to build their winter energy reserves. We love hunting over food plots with lots of turnip bulbs as it can result in very exciting hunts.
Turnips are easy to establish and grow quickly. They are affordable so your wallet will appreciate them. We recommend 6 pounds per acre with a target planting date at the end of July.
