Completed seeding 30 acres of Fall Rye (Hazlet variety) on August 22, 2020. Seeding rate was 2 bushels per acre.
Fall Rye germinates and grows in the fall until the snow flies. The established plants will have a jump on all the weeds in the spring, and rye is usually harvested in mid to late summer. Also, rye secretes a substance that discourages growth of other plants, thus controlling weeds.
