Cultivars such as Barkant, Rival & York Globe turnips are soft turnips. They are leafier and more upright than older varieties of turnip (e.g. Green Globe), with two-thirds of the bulb above the ground. They are used to help bridge a summer feed shortage.

Getting maximum profit and associated benefits from growing an area of turnips requires planning, a high conversion of crop into milk and good management of subsequent new novel endophyte perennial pastures.
