RUTABAGAS OR 
SWEDE TURNIPS 
By far the most profitable root crop grown 
on the farm. Ruta Bagas are better known 
in some sections as Swede Turnips. A yield 
of from 800 to 1,000 bushels per acre is not 
uncommon. Every raiser of stock should 
have a patch of Ruta Bagas, size varying 
according to quantity of stock. 1 oz. of seed 
will plant a row 250 ft. long. 3 lbs. of seed 
will sow one acre.

Grows to very large size and the bulbs

at the ends. The skin is a dark red above 
the surface and of a rich yellow below.
