Winter Rye

Hang tight a few weeks. It is too early to plant fall grains around here right now anyway.

If you are talking about the feed &seed by the high school, that place has always been higher than giraffe ears. Depending on how much you are buying call Mixon or Weathers.

my feed and seed store had his rye go up $10 a bag this year. I am using ww instead this year. He said all rye was up this year. I don't know why but I have heard that from a lot of people down here in the South.

It was actually the one near the middle school. I won’t plant for at least another month I just like to have the seed on hand ready to go. I only wanted a bag..maybe 2 if the price was right but that sure wasn’t the case!
 
Well I picked my Rye seed up today it end up being $15.00 for a 50# bad which was only $4.00 more than last years after seeing what some of you guys are paying I can't complain to much.
 
I’m gonna load up the 1 ton, and trailer, and haul some cheap rye to my buddies along the east coast, can’t believe some of those prices. Maybe I’ll become known as Dougy Ryeseed.

If there are so many farmers planting it, then shouldn't there be a lot of seed available?
Like most other grains...one rye seed = one plant = many seeds. Ain't these farmers combining it?

In our area, no, the vast majority aren't combining it. They plant it for cover through the winter and either terminate it (spray) at spring planting time when it is 6" to 12" tall, or if they are organic farmers, till it under or roll/crush/etc as green manure. Never reaches boot stage. A few harvest grain, but it is very few.

I'm skipping rye this year - just mowed 3 acres of it - expecting some reseeding - will see.

Mowing standing rye this time of year has usually worked very well here when we did it in our plot fields. In the AG fields though it would be wasteful because the excess grain not used for plotting is used for feeding cows. Also not so important for just a food plot versus an AG use mowing it to reseed increases the next years weed crop.
 
Just bought 400 pounds of VNS rye for $15/50lb in NE Okla. about the same as last year but I got "name brand" stuff then.
 
2016 and 2017 Winter Rye was $13.60 for 50lbs.

2018 I just paid $21.95 from the same Feed Dealer. I asked him what gives with such a huge spike and he gave me some gibberish.
I asked for Winter Wheat but they do not carry it. This Feed Store gives 5% off if you spend over $200 in cash. Never had to ask for the discount in the past he just gave it, but this year you had to ask and even then it was like pulling teeth. Strange times.
