Oregon Rye Grain

Rye grain is an excellent cool season cover crop because of its ability to withstand harsh winter temperatures and climates. It has a rapid germination rate and a root system that has adapted itself to a broad range of different soil compositions. Areas that experience winter erosion control issues may find Rye Grain a good option, as planting it in the fall and working it up during the spring will also add organic matter back into your soil. It will outcompete and control weeds and other undesirable plants. Rye grain should be planted at a maximum soil depth of one inch.

*Note: Seed at approximately 55-60 pounds per acre.
