Hybrid rye’s low take-all carryover, ability to outcompete pernicious weeds such as blackgrass and its high yields from modest inputs is making it a real contender for the second cereal spot in many rotations. At Hunt Agri we think it’s a crop with so much going for it, it’s easy to see why its area has nearly doubled in the last six years as more and more growers understand its full potential.
It’s a crop with a robust root system and this not only helps improve soil structure, it also adds to hybrid rye’s drought tolerance, makes hybrid rye ideal for light land and the increasingly varied growing conditions and climate we now face. Rye also needs around 25% less water than either wheat or barley in a typical growing season, too.
