Description
Brassica is an important part of any food plot program. Feeding deer when the cold arrives and the snow flies is just what our brassica blend does. With forage rape, kale, tillage radish, and 3 varieties of turnips, our brassica blend has it all. We don’t use the ordinary turnips you can get at the local feed mills. We have done a lot of research and testing to find the best and biggest kale and rape leaves, turnips and radishes to use in our blend. When the first frost hits, the leaves of the plants start to get sweet, just the way deer like it! Even after all the green leaves are eaten , the plot will still be filled with large turnips and radishes for the deer to dig up and eat. Tons of forage from September until late winter for a lot less than the price of “big buck on a bag” seed companies brassica offerings. Just look at the picture. No other brassica blend can produce results like the Northwoods blend can. Better hope your neighbor isn’t using this! Seeding rate is 6 pounds per acre in late July to early September.

I planted this blend the last week of July. I cannot believe how well it has done. The plants are over a foot tall in about a months time. I went with a no till approach because I didn’t have a disc. I was a little worried I would not get good seed to ground contact. I ended up roughing the ground up with a tooth drag, broadcast the seed and then rolled it. I even did a test area with out rolling it in and the seed took off in that area. I put my trail cam up on the plot earlier this week. I can’t wait to see what type of deer this plot brings in.

I planted 1.5 acres of this mix last summer, along with red clover from north wood as well. I had soil test, and limed/fertilized as prescribed. Plot did extremely well, and took off right away. I used disc, and culti packed well. Took my deer a bit to get used to something new, and eat the brassicas themselves, but once they did, they absolutely loved it. Also a ton of rabbits in the plots. I was very happy, and just ordered more this year to work into my plot rotation. Love this companies seed, and will use them exclusively. We are in Berrien County MI.
