Early Planting Essential For Cereal Crops Pasture
Erie county agent Gale Mullen stresses early planting for cereal pasture. Using rye as an example, plant by August 15 to gain pasture from October to frost and again in spring, a pattern true for barley wheat and winter oats. Vetch mixed with cereals extends grazing and Balboa and Tetra Petkus rye varieties offer staggered fall spring grazing. Plan about one acre per cow for cereal pasture.
