Fall rye offers pasture and weed control benefits for farms
Stockmen and farmers can use fall rye to establish light fall and early spring pastures, with strong potential for next year as overgrazed fields recover. Early harvest helps prevent perennial weed seeds, while varieties antelope and dakold suit the region. Summer fallow yields rye and weed control, but lacks snow retention without stubble. Fall rye can also be an emergency pasture and allows grain harvest on the same land.
