Cereal Rye

I've never planted cereal rye, and wanted to get y'alls opinion of whether its better than wheat and oats. I plant a lot of corn for the deer, so the greens are just a side salad. My local feed store doesn't carry cereal rye, so if high recommended I would have to try ands hunt some down. Thanks in advance.

It may not be better but produces a good bit more tonnage and grows when everything else slows down. I mix it with wheat or triticale.

Based on input I received here, I plan to plant ceral rye in a few sandy spots. Hope I can find it.

We have been planting it in with our mix for about 3 years now and it grows very well even in our poor dirt areas. Get ready to pay for it though. You are probably looking at $75 a bag and not all places will carry it since its so much more than wheat and oats. Look for it early. We usually order ours about now and store it cool and dry till planting time.

Where I live, there's a place that carries a Pennington product called "Wintergrazer 70" I believe. It's not cheap, but maybe like $33. You have to know what to ask for, The people that work at the desk won't know cereal rye from rye grass, I assure you.

$75 a bag for rye???? Damn I need to go waaaaay up on my prices then. I got 4,000 bags on my floor I’ll make you a deal at $45/bag

I wouldn't plant any cereal rye for that price. There's better options that go farther at that price point.

257, what you getting per bag?

$16

If you have sandy soil, cereal rye is a great option. It's more than wheat, yes, but not much more. Rye here is 18 a bag. Wheat around 11. If I could only plant two things, it would be rye and crimson clover.

Cereal rye has been in the $20's or less for me. $75 must be the gold-plated version.

He’s got to be talking about ryegrass. I ain’t never seen cereal rye that expensive.

Elbon rye is $22 bag at my co op

yeah but yours dont have a fancy pic of a deer on the bag now does it? lol

totally my fault on this one for aldeering while driving. I was looking at the prices I got last week and got the rye and the diakons lines crossed. CR is .40-45 a # in Birmingham.

But if ya got diakons at $45 a bag i will take 15 bags

I’ll deliver y’all bags for $45

My radishes are $65/bag. Still feel like it’s not a bad price

Cereal rye is $18/ bag at Clemmons and hamner in Greenhill.

Not bad at all, they are usually $2/# here

Is that the sodbusters?
