I was just wondering what you all thought of wheat, canola and turnips as a food plot..

I have never tried wheat or canola but turnips can work out really great. I think the mix you are suggesting would be even better because it would likely draw deer in for a longer period of time compared to a single plant plot.

Well I planted about an acre of all this. it's about 1/2 wheat and 1/4 of both the other...

I planted some oats/brassica (both rape & turnips) on August 3rd, and here is how they are doing today.

Turnips, winter wheat, rye grass, planted and fertilized the same weekend as LW.

It took us 2 years to get this plot ready with chain saws, a Stihl brush mower and finally a back hoe for the stumps - but a 132" buck was taken off of it the first night hunting.
