RE: Question on Turnips
To answer your first question YES YES YES. You need a soil test no matter what you plant. I plant turnips every year, but I incorperate them in with other items, like winter rye or buck forage oats. Also I plant rape in some of my food plots. The deer normally wont eat the green until theres a heavy frost or freeze, something about the sugar content rises after this. I live in northeast Arkansas and the deer are just now eating on the my turnips out of two of my plots.Good luck to you next year.
