Hello again.
We are looking into doing hybrid rye this spring on some fairly light land (in places its heavy but overall its quite sandy). 30 acre rented block that my father is very keen on renting out to potatoes - which doesnt do the soil any good in my opinion. We like the look of rye because its fairly cheap to grow and gives a decent yield with decent straw. I see a few people on here have grown spring sewn hybrid rye before, any input on this? I've heared agrii dont have the best varieties (our agronomy is all done by agrii and they supply the seed and spraying etc) so can anybody reccomend any good modern varieties and where to get hold of them?
thanks in advance.
