middle TN | My answer is, I don't know. Here, annual ryegrass is sown in the fall and is excellent grazing maybe as early as late Feb., and is getting pretty heady in late May. If you can keep it chewed down, it is dairy quality pasture nearly until June. It is very productive, and very good feed in late March through April. If you can get in the field in March, and get it cut it isn't uncommon to cut it twice if mechanically harvesting. I have read in old textbooks about sowing Ryegrass and Crimson clover in mid July here in the mid south, but earliest I have tried has been first part of September, and I had some fall grazing from that. I would think that even in your location, the annual ryegrass will try to head at some time. If that happens, I would guess it will volunteer some for next year, but I don't know.
