Seedtime and Harvest for Fall Rye in Western Canada
Western Canada farmers increasingly grow fall rye as a cash crop though it trails wheat oats and barley. It performs best on light soils in drier areas and on fallow land for highest yields, with winter kill risk higher on fallow than stubble. Optimal seeding is Aug 15 to Sep 15, with Sept 1 favorable on light soils. on stubble moisture dictates timing. Seed 1 4 to 1 bushel per acre at 2 to 3 inches depth. Avoid deep or loose-ground seeding and leave stubble upright to retain snow and reduce erosion.
