Rye, Cereal

Cereal rye is a cold-tolerant grain widely used for forage, cover cropping, and seasonal soil protection. Eckroat highlights its cold tolerance and fit in forage and cover crop programs, which makes it a dependable option 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.
