Seeding Rye Puts
Money in Pocket
Seeding rye in the fall Is a
sinple practice and it’s putting
money in farmers’ pockets. Inter
est is growing, especially among
farmers pushed into rotations
heavy on corn.
Rye can give you a three-way
pay-off, according to an article
in the August issue of Successful
Farming magazine. It will give
cover for naaed fields, provide
weeks of spring pasture, and
make green manure to plow
down.
The rye is seeded in corn late
enough to escape damage from
rust, probably about the middle
of August in the cornbelt. It is
not damaged by the Hessian fly.
Seedings may be made through
September. The article says ex
perience in northern Indiana in
dicates October 15 to be about
the deadline for rye seedings to
become established before win
ter.
Pasture seedings are gener
ally made In August after the
hottest weather Is past. Rye
will wait for rains, but a se
vere dry period following seed
ing may kill It. Balbo Is the
most popular variety to date,
but some Tctrapetkus Is used.
Probably the greatest benefit
of fall-seeded rye is the least
recognized, according to the arti
cle. Every corn grower leaves his
most productive soils bare and
exposed to the attacks of winter
weather. Rye can cover these
valuable fields and stop erosion
A shredded stalk field covered
with rye will suffer little loss
from either wind or water. Sol
uble nitrates are also picked up
by the rye during the winter.
Rye pastures are ready for
grazing weeks ahead of regular
pastures. It’s possible to cut out
nours of barn feeding and ma
nure handling and shave produc
tion costs.
The article also advises that
rye can add around a ton of resi
due per acre if plowed under as
green manure. With additional
nitrogen, it's possible to get even
more than that.
Incidentally, land in the 1950
acreage reserve can be put into
rye for pasture or plow-down in
1957, the article says.
In 1955 there were nearly
three thousand individual mem
bers of the Rodeo Cowboys’ As
sociation, Inc.
