Where do you get your plot seed? I'd recommend Greencover seed. It's more for cover crops, but they'll run small batches of whatever you want. Keith Berns runs it and has been really good to me over the years.
If you don't know them, check them out. They are good people. |
As long as we buy "certified" wheat and spread the fertilizer with our own spreader we never have any rye show up. It's when we buy their "whatever the **** they bagged" and have the coop spread the fertilizer that the rye appears.
I've tried to buy seed from Green Cover a couple times but, other than a couple bags of Tillage Radish, he's always been just a little higher than I can source the seed locally for or through the few nrcs guys who dabble in growing cover crop seed. He treated the small Tillage Radish deals like I was buying a large amount of seed so that alone will get him more business in the future.
I did let ~10 acres of rye go to grain for the first time and had a neighbor cut it. I asked him three times if he wanted me to clean his machine out right, but he acted like it was no big deal. I'll gurantee you he'll drag some rye into some bean fields going to wheat this fall.
