Not bragging at all. Guy next to me does about 800 acres. But he has a 9,000 acre high fence. I just hope one of his well fed monsters slips under the fence...

Did buckbusters last year. Going with Imperial Clover with wheat mixed in this year. Hoping to get a few years out of clover to stop this yearly seeding,
Was going to plant last week. Glad I listened to the OB with the current heat and lack of rain,

Honest question.
Wheat, oats, winter rye... of those three wheat and oats seem to be planted much more frequently than rye.
What is it that makes them better?
oats turn brown when the cold weather sets in unlike wheat and winter rye. I would think this would be a fairly significant negative.
Wheat and rye seem to be pretty similar yet winter rye is way more tolerant to drought, low pH, grows well in virtually any soil types from clay to sand. And if the nutrients aren't provided in poor soils does better than wheat which will be severely stunted.
What about winter rye am I not taking into account? It supposedly does well in the south as well as up north???

Rye doesn't have the nutritional value of wheat, oats, peas, ect.
Plus it would grow faster and keep the others from flourishing.

Just make sure you are growing a cereal rye such as ebon, it does great has good protein and not aggressive, do not use rye grass, it has the negatives the previous poster pointed out

Roger that. I am looking at winter rye aka cereal rye. Mainly looking to kill not nourish so crude protein etc. isn't my biggest concern for this small fall plot.

This and winter ryegrass is the least palatable to deer.
Elbon rye is another story. Elbon provides much more nutritional value, it’s much more palatable and less invasive.
The only positive about winter rye is it can grow and thrive despite poor soil conditions.

I am talking about rye, SECALE CEREAL, this is what rye bread is made of. Not Annual ryegrass and perennial ryegrass.

I’m planting Eagle Seed buffalo blend. It’s a mixture of buckwheat, cereal rye, turnips and clover. Buffalo Blend

Curious question but why would you plant buckwheat this late in the year?
Posted on 9/8/19 at 9:51 pm to plazadweller
The buckwheat is an early season attractant. Which is why it’s part of a seed mix. Clover and brassicas included for late season into spring.

Anyone planting this weekend before the rain?

Too hot, too big of a risk for army worms for me,
Posted on 9/11/19 at 8:35 pm to Tigerpaw123
I'm torn. Rain for a bunch of days or wait to see what the next 2 weeks looks like.
Posted on 9/11/19 at 8:40 pm to LEASTBAY
What is the down side of waiting
Posted on 9/11/19 at 8:41 pm to Tigerpaw123
I'm impatient. 3 weeks until bow season
Posted on 9/11/19 at 8:42 pm to LEASTBAY
Wait
Posted on 9/12/19 at 3:18 pm to LEASTBAY
Looks like the rain may not come now.
