Photo note and farmer testimonial: “I can confirm the frost tolerance of the Barsica forage rape. It was the last green thing in the field, which was beneficial since we waited for the snow to fly before butchering the pigs. The photo of the pig snacking on the leaves was November 2 after many frosty nights this fall.”
