Can you help identify this plant?

This is growing in the neighbors field, and the deer seem to love eating it. Trying to determine the plant(s). I am thinking it could be oats and chicory. Does this look familar to anyone?

Its some type of brassica (the large leaved plants). Could be oats as well. Could be winter wheat, winter triticale too

Those are forage radishes my friend.

Is a "forage radish" in the brassica family? And will they eat the leaves before the bulbs? Same first frost sweetening as other brassicas? Thanks for any info you might have...

yes - maybe - sort of, but my radishes get hit much earlier than any of my other brassicas.

I haven't had them eat much of the radish itself. They'll chew them down to the ground but that's it. Same as my turnips.

Yes. Yes. No. Look at the variety certified wildlife biologist, Kent Kammermeyer, and I market called Trophy Radishes. They were tested on deer and man do they work!
