Turnip & Rutabaga Rutabagas and turnips are closely related root vegetables. Rutabagas are larger, denser, and sweeter with yellow flesh, while turnips are smaller and white with purple, red or green around the top. Both are a great source of vitamins and nutrients, and are inexpensive winter vegetables. Both the root and the greens are edible and delicious. Cooking Tips Rutabagas and turnips are great sautéed, steamed, boiled, and roasted. Both should be peeled using a vegetable peeler or knife before cooking. Rutabagas are a great substitute for potatoes, and turnips can be used in place of carrots or parsnips. Fresh turnip greens can be cooked like spinach. Rutabaga Storage Store in a cool dry place up to 1 week, or wrap loosely in plastic and store in refrigerator crisper drawer for 3-4 weeks. Large rutabagas are often coated with food-safe wax to prolong shelf life: Turnips simply remove wax with the peel before using. Quick Shepherd’s Pie Ingredients: • 1 lb rutabaga or turnip (or both) • ¼ cup low-fat milk • 2 tbsp butter • ½ tsp salt • ½ tsp pepper • 1 tbsp oil (olive or vegetable) • 1 lb ground lamb or beef • 1 medium onion, finely chopped • 3-4 carrots, chopped (about 2 cups) • 3 tbsp oregano • 3 tbsp flour • 14 oz chicken broth (reduced sodium is best) • 1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen) Directions: 1. Chop the rutabaga/turnip into one inch cubes. 2. Steam or boil for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. 3. Mash with butter, milk, and salt and pepper. Cover and set aside. 4. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. 5. Add the ground meat, onions, and carrots. Cook, stirring, until the meat is no longer pink, 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 6. Sprinkle in flour and oregano, and stir for an additional minute. 7. Add broth and corn. Let simmer 6-8 minutes, until liquid has thickened and vegetables are tender. 8. Ladle into bowls and top with mashed rutabaga/turnip. Serve immediately. .

Nutritional Values & Grazing Tips for Forage Brassica Crops
Helping the family farm prosper by specializing in high quality forages and grazing since 1993. 60 North Ronks Road, Suite K, Ronks, PA 17572 (717) 687-6224, Fax (717) 687-4331 Nutritional Values & Grazing Tips for Forage Brassica Crops Dave Wilson, Research Agronomist, King’s Agriseeds Inc. Forage brassicas can be grown both as a cover crop and/or as a forage crop that is high in nutritive value. They are an annual crop and since they are cold-hardy, they will continue to grow during the fall and into early winter. They can be used to supplement or extend the grazing season when cool season pastures slow down. They are highly productive and typically produce a high yield of leaf biomass and retain their feed value during the cold weather into winter. Growing brassicas as forages can extend the grazing season in the northeast up to three extra months and can be used for stockpiling in some areas. Establishment Brassicas require good soil drainage and a soil pH between 5.3 and 6.8. Seeds should be planted in a firm, moist, seedbed drilled in 6 to 8 inch rows. Fertility requirements are similar to wheat. Don’t plant deeper than ½ inch or this may suppress germination. Seeding rates of 4 to 5 lbs per acre are recommended. If planting after corn, sow in fields that had one pound or less of Atrazine applied in the spring. T-Raptor Hybrid is ready in 42 to 56 days. (Turnip like hybrid with no bulb, very good for multiple grazings.) Pasja Hybrid is ready in 50 to 70 days.

Characterization of Brassica Rapa Turnip Formation in Multiple Segregating Populations
Characterization of Brassica rapa turnip formation in multiple segregating populations Peter Vos 830317-908-030 Laboratory of Plant Breeding, Wageningen University January-October 2009 Supervisors: Ningwen Zhang Guusje Bonnema Characterization of Brassica rapa turnip formation in multiple segregating populations Abstract In this study eleven F 2 populations were evaluated for turnip formation (TuF) and flowering time (FT). The goal was to select populations which form turnips with a wide range in size for studying the genetic basis of turnip formation. Besides the turnip formation FT is important because in previous studies FT and turnip formation are negatively correlated and QTLs for both traits are mapped in the same genomic region. The major finding on the FT-TuF correlation topic was that the correlation was present when the parents differ greatly in flowering time, on the other hand the FT-TuF correlation was absent when the parents did not differ in flowering time. In the evaluated populations a distinction can be made between the origin of the turnips in the populations. Populations with turnips from the Asian and European centers of variation were represented in this study. The phylogenetic relationship between different turnips suggests that different genes could underlie turnip formation in both centers of variation. This hypothesis is confirmed; in a population between turnips from both centers of variation other genomic regions correlate with turnip size than regions in populations with only the Asian turnips. This indicates that different genes underlie the same trait in different centers of variation. However this is only one population and therefore the conclusion is still fragile.

Calcium: What Is It?
Calcium: What is it? Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the human body, has several important functions. More than 99% of total body calcium is stored in the bones and teeth where it functions to support their structure [1]. The remaining 1% is found throughout the body in blood, muscle, and the fluid between cells. Calcium is needed for muscle contraction, blood vessel contraction and expansion, the secretion of hormones and enzymes, and sending messages through the nervous system [2]. A constant level of calcium is maintained in body fluid and tissues so that these vital body processes function efficiently. Bone undergoes continuous remodeling, with constant resorption (breakdown of bone) and deposition of calcium into newly deposited bone (bone formation) [2]. The balance between bone resorption and deposition changes as people age. During childhood there is a higher amount of bone formation and less breakdown. In early and middle adulthood, these processes are relatively equal. In aging adults, particularly among postmenopausal women, bone breakdown exceeds its formation, resulting in bone loss, which increases the risk for osteoporosis (a disorder characterized by porous, weak bones) [2]. What is the recommended intake for calcium? Recommendations for calcium are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences. Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) is the general term for a set of reference values used for planning and assessing nutrient intakes of healthy people. Three important types of reference values included in the DRIs are Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA), Adequate Intakes (AI), and Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL).

Improving the Root Vegetables
IMPROVING THE ROOT VEGETABLES C. F. PooLE, Cytologist, Division of Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant industry LJlD the ancient civilizations arise in the regions where our common cultivated food plants originated and were naturally abundant? Or did man take food plants with him, so that the early centers of civili- zation only seem to be the centers of origin of the plants? This must remain an interesting subject of speculation, but few students doubt that civilization was dependent on the natural locations of the plants. At any rate, the regions that are now believed to be the natural centers of origin of the root vegetables (40, 4^)/ which were used as food long before recorded history, include practically all of the centers of the oldest civilizations. The present belief is that in the Old World there were six of these, with five of which we are here concerned, and in the New World two major and two minor centers, all of which produced valuable root vegetables: (1) Central and western China—radish, turnip, taro (dasheen). (2) India (except northwestern India)—taro. (3) Middle Asia (Punjab and Kashmir)—turnip, rutabaga, radish, carrot. (4) Near Asia—turnip (secondary center), beet, carrot. (5) The Mediterranean—turnip, rutabaga, beet, parsnip, salsify. (6) Ethiopia—no root vegetables. (7) Mexico—swectpotato. (8) South America (major)—taro, potato. (8a) Chile—potato. (8b) Brazil-Paraguay—cassava. The theory is that the place where a plant exhibits the greatest diversity of subspecies and varieties in its natural state must have been a center of origin of that plant.

Black Leg, Light Leaf Spot and White Leaf Spot in Crucifers
A CLINIC CLOSE-UP Black Leg, Light Leaf Spot, and White Leaf Spot in Western Oregon Oregon State University Extension Service January 2016 A number of foliar fungal diseases can affect crucifer crops. Three fungal pathogens have emerged recently in western Oregon where epidemics of black leg, light leaf spot, and white leaf spot have been occurring since 2014. Black leg has been detected sporadically in Oregon since the 1970’s but historically black leg has caused significant problems wherever crucifers were grown. Crucifer seed rules have been in place within Oregon, Washington, and other markets to protect crucifer crops from black leg. Light leaf spot is new to North America, but has been reported in other regions of the world where it is known to cause significant seed yield losses of winter oilseed rape. Light leaf spot and black leg can both result in reduced yields or quality, depending on disease incidence and severity in vegetable and seed fields. White leaf spot has been previously reported in the US, but management has not normally been needed except in the southeastern US. White leaf spot may be less of an economic threat to crucifer production in the Pacific Northwest, compared to the risks from black leg and light leaf spot. The complete host range for these three diseases is not known at this time but it is likely that all Brassica and Raphanus crops grown in the Pacific Northwest are susceptible to some degree. These three diseases may be found on volunteer Brassica, Raphanus, and Sinapis species as well as crucifer weed species including little bittercress (Cardamine oligosperma), western yellowcress (Rorippa curvisiliqua), field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense), wild radish (Raphanus sativus), shepherd’s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), hedge mustard (Sisymbrium officinale), and field mustard or birdsrape mustard (Brassica rapa var.
