Abstract
The interest in growing cereal rye for grain to be sold as cover crop seed, or to other value-added markets (distillers and bakers), has increased considerably across the Northeast in recent years. This winter-hardy grain has the ability to survive cold winters and can be more tolerant of marginal land not suitable for other crops. Farmers are interested in understanding how planting date and seeding depth impact winter survival, grain yield, and quality. In 2023-2024, University of Vermont Extension Northwest Crops and Soils (NWCS) Program conducted a trial to evaluate the impact of planting date and seeding depth on the performance of an open-pollinated and hybrid rye varieties.
