What is this?

Last night, as Adam and I were on our way to our stands, we walked along a field that we thought had been planted with winter wheat. Now that it has sprouted, we realize it's not wheat. Any idead?

Whatever it is, I think the deer are eating it. Hopefully we have a late season food source.

Radish?

Looks like radish.

They planted a cover crop. Likely radish. May be some Austrian winter peas in there too. And maybe rye as well.

They have been planting mix around here as a cover crop that contains radishes , winter peas , winter rye and sunflower .

I’d say radish, turnip, or rape. They all look about like that when they pop. Yes, cover crop.

Hmm. This could get interesting to see what happens with this over the season.
