Thumb of Michigan | "Here" big wheat and small rye are an equal SOB to kill. I tried SWW wheat as a cover a couple of times. Only need my nose bloodied up good a couple of times to learn my lesson- again "here". Cereal rye, on the other hand seems MUCH more forgiving on killing it. As long as I can get it about a foot or so plus tall. Thats the issue (again, "here) when it comes to rye ahead of corn- we usually have had pretty short rye when it was time to plant corn. I never cared to plant corn into anything green if we could help it. Caused a conundrum. Lots of growth potential for rye ahead of traditional date planted soys. With that, we've planted early soys more than a few times into shorter rye and was able to pretty easily kill it later in GMO soys anyway. "Here" that is. | |
