Thumb of Michigan | W/O a soil test, just shooting from the hip:
I planned on cereal rye yielding about half of what winter wheat would yield. With that said, cereal rye seemed to do about the same on my poorest ground than it did anywhere else. Generally speaking, on 100+ bpa wheat ground, anything over 50 bpa of cereal rye was good. I fertilized at about 50% of what a soil test required for wheat as well. N is the one you need to be the most frugal with. OM and previous crop history can make for pretty flat crop come harvest. if you're not careful. There are big differences (here anyway) between cereal rye varieties as well. Not so much in yield but in growth characteristics and maturities.
