[QUOTE="camoman, post: 83022, member: 571"] Deer are definitely after the turnips. Turnips will provide as much energy to critters as corn will, that's ALOT of energy. I've seen deer digging through feet (plural) of snow to get to turnips they know are in the ground. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Of the crops you have listed, clover and turnips, for a similar reason stated by Davey - sugar beets are going to be a dime a dozen out in your country, give them something different. Clover, is a leguminous crop just like soybeans, but is likely different enough to attract some attention. Keep in mind though, in the heat of the summer your clover is going to shut down as its more of a cool season plant, so it probably won't be attracting a ton of attention early season, until it cools off for a bit. Your clover AND turnips are going to be later season crops. Be careful with your clover though, I've heard some guys say if you don't replant some in the fall it won't come back real well. I would recommend including a short grain in your mixture, something like oats. When the oats start popping in the summer the deer will be ALL over them and when they head out and dry up late summer they'll be back. Provide your critters some grub until the weather really cools and the turnips are ready. Keep in mind, the deer will eat the tops of your turnips while they are green.
