[QUOTE="DaveGrohl, post: 8141363, member: 3563"] We grow hybrid rye purely for wholecrop and get around 20t/acre freshweight. Easy and cheap crop to grow but need to get it sown by mid Sept hereabouts. Never fed it to cattle but am always wondering how it would feed with dairy cows as the amount of grain in the sample is small compared to stem and leaf. I seem to recall someone saying that the digestibility of the stem and leaf is higher than other wholecrops and has more starch "stored" there which makes it feed better than it analyses. I also have a feeling I may have dreamt it but would appreciate any info from those with experience such as yourself. I’m a bit puzzled about your analysis comments though, we’ve never had a problem getting an analysis. [/QUOTE]
