According to my CASE Combine manual there are 4 variaties of Rape 1 Rape- Anual, 157,000 seeds. per pound. 2 Rape- Bird, 192,500 seeds per pound 3 Rape- Turnip 243,000 seeds per pound. and 4 Rape- Winter, 104,500 seeds per pound. All weigh 50# per BU. It goes on to say that Rape is best adapted to a moist cool climate,and grown largley for pasturing hogs, cattle, and sheep. It belongs to the turnip family and is sown early in the spring or late summer at a rate of 3 pounds per acre, usually with oats or barley. There is some danger of bloating when stock is turned in it when it is damp. White hogs sometimes blister from running in wet Rape. Rape can be straight combined as soon asthe leaves drop off the stalks. Even though the stalks remain green, the seeds are easily threshed from the pods. Since the stems are pithy and rather large, care should be taken while cutting not to take too much of the stalk into the combine. The ground up stalks result in high moisture content and difficult separation. See more details in the Combine forum titled strange crops -- a page or 3 back now.
