Corn Belt North
Dwarf Essex Rape is a cool-season brassica that holds up better in cold weather than turnips — winter survival in MN/WI/MI is generally better than purple top, making it a useful late-season component in Northern Corn Belt brassica blends.
Palatability is good but consistently rated below turnips and clovers by food plot consensus — deer use rape but prefer alternatives if available. Single-cut harvest pattern; once stripped, offers limited regrowth.
