Rape
Dwarf Essex - produces an excellent economical fall and winter food plot. Planted at 5-15 lbs. per acre Rape is great for plowed ground forage for wildlife or livestock. Rape can also be overseeded in existing spring and summer food plots as they begin to decline in the early fall.  After overseeding a close mowing and fertilizer application is all that is needed to give the rape plants what they need to thrive.  Rape can be harvested or grazed every 30 days following a 75 day establishment period. Forage produced can contain 18-20% crude protein. Good cold tolerance makes harvesting or grazing late into the fall and winter an option.

Rape, also called colpa, colsa, colerape, tori, and chou oleifere, is a cool-season annual plant similar to turnip and rutabaga. Rape originated in northern Europe and was cultivated in the Mediterranean area. It is seldom found in Florida gardens and presently is of no commercial importance in the state. When grown, it has been observed to produce satisfactorily.
