If your just planting those two I would go 6 lbs/acre turnips and 4 lbs/ac rape. Some folks add some radishes too.

10lbs total per acre is fine.

60% Rape and 40%Turnip

"but"

I would replace the turnip with forage radish.

hmmm why the forage radish bigr?? Just curious

I just mixed up a blend of 25% New York Turnip, 25% Barkant Turnips and 50% Chicory.....I was thinking of adding sugar beets to the mix for a little more versatility, but decided against it.....I may add radish to it.....depending on your reasoning ;) next year, as this is just a mix I am playing with...

Thanks Guys

I will check into getting some radishes , the turnips work fine as well I just found that they tended to out compete the rapeseed and I ended up with mostly turnip in the plot.

If your mixing all three then go with Dbltree's brassica mixture.

Turnips - 3 lbs/acre
Rape - 2 lbs/ac
Radish - 5 lbs/ac

Add 100 lbs/ac of urea 4-5 weeks after planting and before at least 1/2 inch of rain.

I think Speare seeds have all three and they ship. (519) 338-3840

I bought Tillage Radish from Speare for $3.45 a pound.
