Subject: Late planted Rye cover crop


Southeast MN
I no-tilled some rye in after combining corn last fall, one planting 3 weeks before freeze up and 1 about a week before freeze up. The early stuff came up last fall and greened up. We've been unseasonably warm here like 50-60degree highs the last week. Early stuff is still green but not growing yet(supposed to snow a foot Friday so probably won't) the late stuff isn't up but I dug some seeds today and it's sprouted. I'm really curious to see if it comes up in the spring. As of right now I'm planning on no-tilling beans into it and then burning down.

Early planted went in October 21st
Late planted went in November 18th

1st picture is the seed I dug today 2nd is the early planted stuff the day I planted the late stuff.

I'm truly shocked the late stuff germinated looks like it wasn't a wasted experiment after all.
