No, turnips were not a farmed crop but many tribes gathered the roots of the plants ,Psoralea esculenta and Pediomela ,of the pea family (known as wild turnips, Indian turnips,tipsin, prairie turnips,Indian breadroots) which have fleshy edible roots and grew mostly on the Great Plains. Wild carrot, wild onions and wild potato were also gathered.
