Subject: Re: Cereal Rye Silage/Hay


S.E. Minnesota
We have made dry round rye bales but prefer to make silage bales.
Two reasons:
1.cut /baled/stored in a very short time frame
(important for timely planting of fallowing spring crop)
2.The cattle eat the silage bales better than dry bales.

We have found no-tilling the fallowing crop into rye stubble after rye baleage harvest to be preferable to working the ground. When you tear the root balls loose it can make it more difficult to plant into.
