Fall Rye Seeding Times From Brandon Farm Experiments
A decade ago at Brandon Experimental Farm tested Fall Rye seeding dates for grain. In 1922 August 28 seedings yielded less grain than September 10 due to dryness delaying dormancy, while October 1 germinated but frost halted growth. Early September seeding favored, but fall sowing requires moisture for germination. 1923 and 1924 tests supported these conclusions.
