    5 LBS TROPHY  DAIKON FORAGE RADISH FOR DEER FOOD PLOTS
    THIS IS 5 LBS DAIKON FORAGE RADISH SEED FOR DEER FOOD PLOTS.  UNTIL RECENTLY, VERY LITTLE THOUGHT HAD BEEN GIVEN TO PLANTING RADISHES, A MEMBER OF THE BRASSICA FAMILY,  FOR DEER. TURNIPS,RAPE, AND KALE HAVE BEEN USED EXTENSIVELY BUT UNTIL RECENTLY, RADISHES HAVE BEEN IGNORED.  A FEW YEARS AGO, RADISHES WERE PLANTED IN A SMALL FIELD AS A WINTER COVER CROP AND IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE DEER ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE RADISHES AND ATE NOT ONLY THE FORAGE BUT THE TAP ROOT AS WELL.
    I HAVE TRIED DAIKON RADISHES MYSELF AND PLANTED THEM IN A FIELD WITH WHEAT AND OATS IN ONE END OF THE FIELD, TURNIPS IN THE MIDDLE, AND DAIKON RADISHES ON THE OTHER END. I OBSERVED THAT THE DEER CAME TO THE RADISHES FIRST AND ATE THE FORAGE AS WELL AS THE LONG TAP ROOT. AT THE END OF THE SEASON, THERE WERE NO RADISHES LEFT IN THE FIELD AT ALL AND MUCH OF THE WHEAT AND TURNIPS WERE STILL THERE.
    THE FORAGE RADISH LOOKS LIKE A LARGE LIGHT COLORED CARROT WHICH CAN REACH A LENGTH OF 18-32 INCHES WHICH ABOUT HALF STICKS ABOVE THE SOIL SURFACE GIVING DEER EASY ACCESS TO IT. DEER EAT THE GREEN TOPS AND THEN THE ROOT.
    I HARVESTED A NICE 10 POINT BUCK ON MY FOOD PLOT AND THE DEER IS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE.  I HIGHLY RECOMMENT THE DAIKON FORAGE RADISHES FOR YOUR FOOD PLOT. JUST TRY THEM AND YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID. THANKS.
