Grain rye is more cold tolerant than oats and generally produces more forage than either oats or wheat.Product DetailSmall grain used for winter grazingCan be used for rye flour and other edible usesMore cold tolerant than oatsProduces more forage than wheat or oatsWinter annual in the southPlant spring or fall for best resultsProduct InformationIf rye is planted very early in the season, it is often hurt by various seedling diseases. It is often best to wait until cool weather prevails. Normally rye developed from northern states will produce little forage in late fall or early winter, and will usually be severely damaged by leaf rust; therefore, plant only varieties recommended for the Southeastern United States. Grain rye will also act as a winter annual in the south.Wrens Abruzzi was released to growers in l953 and has been a predominant rye variety since that time. Through many years of natural selection, the Wrens strain of Abruzzi rye has become well adapted to Southeastern U. S. conditions. Wrens is an early maturing strain of Abruzzi, which produces an abundance of early winter forage. It is a hardy variety, adapted to all regions of Georgia and most of the SE US. Earliness and a tolerance to several diseases make Wrens Abruzzi more desirable than northern type varieties. Forage and grain production has been high over a period of many years in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain.
