Rapid forage growth: Ensures quick establishment and early harvests for efficient pasture management
High crude protein content (16-17%): Provides superior nutrition for livestock compared to alfalfa
Nutrient accumulation: Can scavenge up to 120 lbs of residual nitrogen per acre, enhancing soil fertility
Deep penetrating tap root: Accesses water and nutrients efficiently, reducing crop loss
Reduces take-all in wheat: Integrating rape between wheat crops helps lower disease incidence

Rapeseed belongs to the brassica family and is known for it's rapid, extremely high quality forage growth. Boasted for its nutrient scavenging abilities, rapeseed can accumulate large amounts of residual nitrogen. Rapeseed has an excellent, deep tap-root, ideal for breaking compaction. Of all the brassicas, rapeseed is one of the most col
