Trophy Rapeseed
Trophy Rapeseed is a short season brassica species. Rapeseed is a proficient nutrient scavenger, producing a very succulent leafy top growth that is high in nutrients. Trophy Rapeseed may be used in grazing pasture systems for livestock or for wildlife food plot mixtures. Unlike other rapeseed varieties, Trophy Rapeseed has an annual life cycle and if planted in spring this variety will produce seed the first year. If used in late summer or fall planting Trophy Rapeseed provides quick emergence and produces a thick stand compared to other varieties and even alfalfa.
