Description

Rapeseed is versatile enough to be planted in the spring for a summer cover, or may be utilized in the fall for a winter cover crop.

Rapeseed works great as a dual purpose crop, adapting to a wide range of soil types and conditions.

Rape tends to be extremely drought tolerant and stands frost better than some of other brassicas. Because of its winter-hardiness, it’s common for growers to get multiple grazing cycles when feeding rape.
