Rye ready to cut at Beaver creek country ranch
R F Jones, owner of a Beaver Creek ranch, showed a three foot high rye sample. He planted eight to ten acres last June, irrigated once, cut hay last fall, and says the spring crop grew with one irrigation six weeks ago. He plans to cut next week and believes winter rye can yield two hay crops annually with irrigation. He urges ranchers, especially homesteaders, to plant rye for stock feed.
