I have been cash cropping Rye straw for about seven years now. The rye gets alot taller and gives more straw that way. The first few years I had the neighbor come in with the big N6 or 9 I am not sure but that oleGleaner really eats the material I beleve 350 horsey powers. Any ways Then for the last 4 years or so I have cut it green and let the sun bleach it out for premium White straw. I still only get $2.00 a bale but I could get more probly $3.00 Its just the good name people trust. Also bye cutting it green you dont get any seeds and the strawberry people love that cause they dont have to worry about seeds growing when they dont want them. I dont care how new a combine you will use they all still have a certain percentage of seed left on the heads. I tryed to sell to a land scaping company my first few years untill they said that hydroseeding is much cheaper and did not want the straw.
I live in westeren central NY if this helps you. JON
