Cereal rye has done a good job of suppressing weeds, keeping soil cooler, conserving moisture and holding soil on this southeast Nebraska farm. They have used cereal rye as a cover crop before soybeans for several years and this system has worked well. ⁦Nebraska CropWatch⁩

The hot, dry weather this summe has taken its toll on non-irrigated corn across Nebraska, especially on less productive soils. This field is even located in the southeast part of the state that has been affected the least by drought the past couple of years ⁦Nebraska CropWatch⁩

Hey hey! I know this impressive lady! ⁦⁦Sarah Carlson⁩ is one heckuva leader in the conservation farming space. Proud to know and work with her and #Iowa is lucky to have her! Iowa's Johnny Appleseed of cover crops encourages sustainable farming desmoinesregister.com/story/money/ag…

Most common mistakes when grazing cereal rye is not getting on it early enough and not having high enough stocking density! Once it gets going it grows fast and recovers fast. Start at 5 inches and 0.5 to 1 cow/acre. Rotating totally pays! UNL Beef (assuming we get some rain!🤞)

I haven’t posted much since my retirement in 2023, but wanted to show these photos of how rye has suppressed henbit in our pumpkin 🎃 patch. Note the henbit on the edge of patch. Didn’t believe I had a stand until earlier this spring. Last fall the deer ate the rye when came up.

We plant rye in our tanks and tires. We call these are Redneck Raised Beds! They work pretty good for growing tomatoes 🍅 and peppers 🌶️ 🫑 . This spring we will let the rye get 2-3’ tall, clip it off, and then spray the stubble with Roundup spreading the residue on top.
