Rye, Cereal

Cereal rye seed is the most cold-tolerant of the small grains, producing incredible biomass that's ideal for cover cropping, winter grazing, or straw production. Common varieties include Elbon, Rhymin, and Wrens Abruzzi. We recommend it for Oklahoma growers looking for winter growth and fast ground cover. In central Oklahoma, cereal rye is especially useful for erosion reduction, grazing support, and building a cool-season cover that keeps fields productive outside the main growing season.
