Arguably the most cold-tolerant of the small grains, cereal rye is a staple across the Southeast. It produces an incredible amount of biomass and is good quality in the vegetative state — ideal for the basis of a cover crop, winter grazing, or straw production. Establishes quickly and grows through the colder season, but degrades slowly during the summer, providing an excellent weed mat as a cover crop More productive in harsher conditions than most other small grains When to plant: Fall, Winter Fertilizer: Varies Seeding rate: 75 - 100 lbs. per acre Overseeding rate: 50 lbs. per acre Seeding depth: 1/4 - 1/2 inch Ideal ph: 5.5 - 6.5 Gmo: No Inoculant needed: No Coated or raw: Raw Lifecycle: Annual Climate zones: Cool Season, Transition Zone, Warm Season Wrens Abruzzi Grain Rye Seed is the small grain most widely used for Winter grazing for cattle and wildlife in food plots.

Product Detail Small grain used for winter grazing More cold tolerant than oats Produces more forage than wheat or oats Winter annual in the south Plant spring or fall for best results Product Information If rye is planted very early in the season, it is often hurt by various seedling diseases. It is often best to wait until cool weather prevails. Normally rye developed from northern states will produce little forage in late fall or early winter, and will usually be severely damaged by leaf rust; therefore, plant only varieties recommended for the Southeastern United States. Grain rye will also act as a winter annual in the south. *Product packaging may appear different than what is pictured.Plant during spring or fall for best results.
