Description
Rye is a grass grown extensively as a grain and as a forage crop. Rymin Rye is a high yielding, fair winter hardiness, medium to late maturing rye grain with good lodging resistance. At maturity it does not get as high in height as Wrens, Elbon or most other varieties. Rymin Rye is not recommended to plant in the extreme southern U.S. (south of I-20). Rymin Rye is a fantastic cover crop choice as well as grazing. It has 385 miles of root per acre, so it holds and adds an enormous amount of organic matter to the soil. Plant September-October in the South and August-September in Central U.S. Planting Rates: Drilled-60 to 120 lbs. per acre; Broadcast-12 to 150 lbs. per acre. Also recommended-80 lbs. mixed with 15 lbs. of Crimson clover per acre for grazing.
