Anyone here ever taken a 3 point rotary tiller to a patch of standing rye?
After last seasons drought I ended up with a lot of rye in food plots and was hoping to utilize the situation to experiment some. A portion of it is going to be seeded into and rolled over in the spirit of no till, some of it is going to get worked like normal and the last part is what I am curious about. I want to take my tiller to standing rye to incorporate it into the soil.
Does rye (fully grown) get balled up on a rear PTO tiller and can I get away without mowing that portion first? I don’t care about the volunteer rye.
Just dreaming- still a lot of snow on the ground here yet.
