Wholecrop Rye In May

[cquick]

Can it be done?
Will be going in after OSR so could be drilled quite early.
I'd like to get it off and put maize in immediately after.
OK the grain won't be very filled out, if at all, but would it work if it was mown, wilted and picked up like a grass crop?
Would anyone buy it?
I'd like to do rye as I have farm saved conventional seed to hand, but open to other suggestions.

Digesters will take it

Yes, we've just cut Rye Wholecrop as forage under clamp, direct cut through forager.
Mixed with grass in the pit. It was drilled in March and is over 7ft tall.

Fantastic bulk crop

Round here they are doing rye, maize as double cropping for digesters
