It's funny hearing about people planting Rye. Here is Kansas, and other Midwest states as well I'm sure, Rye is a cuss word. It was brought up years ago by Custom Wheat Harvesters and is like a noxious weed around here. The seeds can lay dormant for up to 7 years the USDA says and still take off and grow. The Rye will take over a wheat field in just a few short years. You need to rotate out for at least 2 years, but more like 3 to 4 years to try to get it cleaned up.
This is in Central Kansas and the weather is not that conducive to growing row crops, so it's tough to have some of the land out of wheat for that long. That is one of the hardest battles I had to fight was trying to keep Rye out of the fields. Then, if you neighbor has Rye, which several do, they claim the seeds will blow and can still contaminate your ground. One seed grows into several seeds in a head. If you combine it, a lot of the seeds are light enough they are blown out with the fan or just go out the back of the combine. If you cut through one stalk, it seems like the next year there will be several plants there. Keep in mind the wind does blow here in KS.
I still cringe every time someone mentions planting Rye..hehe! Bob
