UP / Thumb of Michigan | Rented the farm out. If not for that, I'd rather raise rye vs wheat as long as the economics are there. Wheat has been a miserable SOB in this area for a couple of years.
I originally wanted to make sure that I had a supply of rye for a cover. After looking at different varieties, I wanted to make sure that I had a supply of the variety I wanted to use as well.
I do think that theres room for a beginning or smaller acerage farmer to produce cover crops to sell. It takes some work and the ability to market and ship, but it can be done. | |
