Fast growing and economical to grow, stubble turnips are ideal for finishing lambs or being used as a buffer feed. A reliable crop, they can be used for either summer grazing, autumn use or out-wintering, ready to be utilised within 10-12 weeks of planting. They are also versatile by lowering the seed rate to increase bulb size, or vice versa.
