SE Iowa | Is your rye still alive, or did you terminate? My experience...we are just getting to the point in the season where rye will really start to use water so don't give up on it yet. Couple warm sunny days after the wet pattern clears out and it should shape up nice.
65 lbs is too much rye, in my opinion...the lack of air flow at the soil surface with that kind of a stand can be problematic. I run 40-45 lbs/ac in 10" twin rows, then plant 30" corn/beans in the 20" gap between the rye twins. Works decent, and gives the planter row unit a spot to run with minimal rye interference. | |
