[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1607739, member: 27848"] I started about 4 years ago with Austrian Winter Peas as a soil enricher. Initial plan was to plant in the fall, let them grow over the winter and spring and in the spring plow them in and plant my summer hay crop. Then I decided to double crop and put in Jumbo Rye with the peas and have that cash crop then plant the summer crop. Best thing I ever did. Pea plants died off rapidly after clipping and by the time I baled the Rye they had turned brown. Have no idea as to the effect on the bale's stats as a result but I got a bumper crop of Rye hay without a lot of fertilizer and follow-on summer crop. Soooo if you want the cured green legume in the bale then you need something that cures faster than Rye. (opinion) [/QUOTE]
