Description

Improved High-Yield Forage brassica, especially if plated early in the growing season.  Great source of protein and energy for wildlife.  Very cold, heat and drought tolerant.  Well-managed plots can have rape that exceeds 30 percent crude protein.  Rape also has a lower ADF (Acid Detergent Fiber) making rape more digestible to animals.  ADF is a measure of various plant compounds which include lignin.
