Value of rye and its farm uses in Pennsylvania
A Rural New Yorker letter from I S Stroheker of Venango County, Pa, argues rye deserves more attention. It yields less grain per acre than wheat but provides valuable straw, feed, and potential fertility benefits when plowed under as green manure. Rye bread is nutritious, and farmers report better ground condition when rye follows wheat, with rye straw feeding horses and calves.
