Mid Minnesota | Dont grow rye myself but love , need the straw , used to be lots grown around here on the lighter soils, most guys have went to corn , bean rotations even on the bad soils, as a bad bean, corn crop still grosses much better than rye grain , straw at current prices, I beleive Im going to have to grow my own rather than purchases in fact will be seeding fall 13 for 14 crop , I can justify this for just straw production alone as i wont let the grain mature before cutting need clean straw for specalty crops mulch , will probably push some nitrogen to get max straw growth . If i could buy what i need probably keep this land in row crops , Maybe in your area there is someone that needs the straw also here was paying 55 dollars 5x5 rounds when i could get it, Wheat straw just doesnt work as well Thanks Dave | |
