Hybrid winter rye can yield up to 160 bu/acre (up to 100% more than open-pollinated varieties). The plants are shorter, stand well, and are more uniform in height and maturity than open-pollinated rye
varieties. And they're disease resistant! All varieties have minimal risk for ergot with proper management. They offer excellent winter hardiness and superior grain quality for milling, distilling, and feed markets.

Hybrid winter rye can be fed successfully in rations for dairy, beef, and swine. Grain from hybrid rye cannot be saved for seed.

Management: Requires higher management than open-pollinated rye. Provide 1.12 lbs of available nitrogen per bushel of grain.

Seeding: Seed in September in southern Minnesota. Seeding can continue into October farther South. Uniform seed spacing enables optimum tiller development. Plant 800,000 viable seeds/acre, ½” to ¾” deep.

Varieties: We carry the following, conventional certified varieties (KWS Tayo is also available in organic certified). Contact us for price and availability.
