swohio | I will give you my take on this. What rebuilder said along with others is right on. Now I've been no-tilling a long time, just really getting into covers. I have a IH 900 planter that most of time don't even use the row cleaners. I have planted green into both annual rye and this year into cereal rye. I have also done both killed ahead of planting. I have only planted corn into cereal rye a couple of times. Has worked well. But I also apply 10 gals. of 28 with the planter, 100lbs. of 11-52-0, 100lbs of AMS and potash broadcast just ahead of planting. Corn always looked dark green. Just harvested the first field I ever planted green of cereal rye. Planted into one of my better soils. Looked great all summer, and yielded 171. Is very good for me but looked better than that. Next field that got planted into cereal rye was killed 2 weeks before corn planted. Dead as doornail and planted nice. Didn't look as good as field planted green and had about 5ac. out of 30 that had too much water. Not as good of soil either. Same hybrid, 2 weeks later and with water damage, yielded 169. I think first should have done much better, but still for me good corn. So I don't what to think about green vs. dead, but I haven't had issues like I saw in Farm Journal about cereal rye. Maybe I have been lucky, but I don't think so. Know of some PA. guys that have been planting green into cereal rye for a lot longer than me and they get along great. Will find out this year as I have 150ac of cereal rye going to corn and a mix with annual rye at 150ac also going to corn. I will add I have killed the cereal rye at no more than 14" high and the green planted stuff this year was about 2' or higher. | |
