AC® Hazlet Fall Rye

Fall rye performs well on sandy, erosion prone soils. Its tolerance to drought gives it an advantage over other cereals when moisture is limited. It is used primarily as a grazing crop through the spring and summer, followed by a grain harvest the second year. The grain yield is reduced, but the utility of the crop increased.
