When most other deer food plots have lost their appeal, this seed mix will supply a high energy, high protein food source. Purple Top Turnips roots and tops are very nutritious and palatable, providing protein to your deer herd even during the cold winter months. Pulsar Forage Rapeseed has improved grazing qualities, as well as increased yields that provide an excellent source of protein.

Big Buck Binge is our annual brassica mix which includes Purple Top Turnips and Pulsar Forage Rapeseed.

The purple top turnips bulb root grows halfway in the ground and halfway out of the ground allowing your deer easy access to pull up and consume both parts of the forage – both the roots and the tops are very nutritious and palatable. The turnip tops will turn a brilliant purple color after a frost or two, pulling all the plants sugar into the leaves. The turnip plant is both high energy and high protein forage for your deer in those scarce winter months. The turnip is a cool season biennial which germinates at soil temperatures as low as 40 degrees F. It will continue to grow in the fall until temperatures drop near 15 degrees F.  Turnips can be seeded anytime from March to September. Best fall plantings are sown in late July - early September. Early planting gives higher yields but more weed problems. Where moisture is available, turnips can be double cropped after small grains. Extending your grazing season into fall and winter often pays big dividends. Turnips provide good grazing beginning in October and often last into the New Year.

• Ready to graze in 10 to 14 weeks
• Excellent for deer food plots
• High yields
• Very nutritional forage
• Allows more management flexibility
• Adapted to a wide range of soil and climactic conditions

The Pulsar Forage Rapeseed will grow in a wide range of soil types and weather conditions. It has increased yields that provide an excellent source of protein. Pulsar is a special type of forage rape which allows more flexibility in its use. Pulsar can be used as a summer crop for fattening and finishing or for a fall planted crop to provide winter feed. Pulsar does not need to reach optimum maturity before grazing unlike most traditional forage rapes. Pulsar has increased dry matter yields and is an excellent source of nutrition, making it a great choice for deer food plots. Pulsar is adapted to a wide range of soil and climactic conditions.

Pulsar can be grazed 10 to 14 weeks after planting with rotational grazing
providing the best results. Lightly graze the first time to ensure good
leaf re-growth from the main stem and to allow further grazing to occur.
Always introduce animals slowly to brassicas - especially during a period of
lush growth and make sure animals have access to water.

Planting Big Buck Binge in the fall will offer you and your deer herd many benefits:

• Planting a brassica in the fall will help control your weeds through the fall and winter months.
• With the large root bulb a brassica will help loosen or break up compact soil which will help with your spring planting. 
• Brassicas produce a large top growth and root bulbs which if not severely grazed will decay adding organic minerals to the soil. Organic contact help in nutrient and water hold capabilities in the soil.
• Rough Ridge 100% Product Performance Guarantee
