Ahhhh cereal rye

Love how the spring rye field looks. They just look beautiful.

The last couple years I have just let it go until September & replanted the same mix. Thinking about crimping & a summer plot. Thoughts??

I usually leave it till fall like you do. Crimping for a summer plot will be difficult with all the other stuff you have growing in there.

Our rye gets too tall, too early in spring for turkeys to use - so we dont plant it

I’m leaving mine this year. I’m not messing with summer plots. Last year I had quail in mine and once I cleaned them up I never saw them again. Enough ag around here that summer plots are pointless for deer

Im leaving mine as well

My attempts at summer plots have been abject failures

All my fall plots have produced tons of biomass

I quit summer plots for deer about six or seven years ago. Wheat and clover n the fall and let it go. Clover may slide through until next fall or it may die out in Sept and then I plant again in oct. No fertilizer.

Doves and ducks my summer planting. I have ten acres of sunflowers already in - that arent doing too great. Intend on planting about 50 or so acres for ducks first week of July
