Highlights of Week 3
Highlights from Week 2 in August - Does not look like the turkey fair as well 5 hens one poult is not a good number, rain 15 inches over the 5 year average must had put a hurt on them. The Boss of the younger buck is the one side antler buck. The two button bucks running together from last fall are now 3 to 4 pointers this year. Coyotes eating corn, Bucks chasing turkeys and coons. Buck fight, Doe fight, The wildest is a young coon with turkeys can't believe the hens could stand a mortal enemy that close.

First round of seed order for planting will add a few grains a little later. High deer browse on my place requires plants that can produce high forage.
APPIN FORAGE TURNIP - forage turnip was bred for fast, vigorous establishment and quick maturity (60-100 days). It is firmly anchored in the ground for minimum wastage. Appin has a significantly higher proportion of leaf yield compared to other turnips, and is multi-crowned for improved re-growth potential. The high leaf-to-bulb ratio results in a very leafy crop with high digestibility.
BARKANT FORAGE TURNIP - is a very vigorous diploid turnip variety with a purple tankard root type. The variety has a very good leaf and root yield with high sugar and dry-matter content. Ideally suited for grazing with sheep and cattle, it is common to obtain 4-6 tons of dry-matter content per acre of this high-energy feed. Barkant is able to provide multiple harvests with the correct grazing management.
T-RAPTOR FORAGE BRASSICA - is an early maturing hybrid brassica, a cross between a forage turnip and a forage rape, with 50-70 day crop duration. T-Raptor exhibits a leafy growth habit (higher leaf-to-bulb ratio) and is well-suited to grazing. Under ideal management, it can be grazed once a month. T-Raptor is an excellent late-summer feed source, and a good supplement for late-summer periods when cool-season forage grasses slow in production. T-Raptor can be sown in spring or summer.
BONAR FORAGE RAPE - is a late maturing forage rape with relatively short stems and large paddle leaves. A higher leaf-to-stem ratio gives increased utilization compared to Giant type rapes. Produces very high quality forage yields. After a hard frost the leaves become very sweet and palatable
WINDAM WINTER PEA - is a new winter pea - a semi-dwarf, upright, winter hardy feed pea, improved variety, The only winter pea with enough winter hardiness for central to upper Midwest, Great for mixing with small grains, Can produce 4000-6000 lbs biomass
