[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 618476, member: 8840"] I broadcast cereal rye every year. I straighten the disc to almost straight and cover it up. Rye will come up from various depths and in a bed of dust within 4 or 5 days. I add ryegrass and clover on top and cultipack. As long as you get the cereal rye covered up with some soil it will do fine, you couldn't keep it from coming up if you tried. Cultipacking helps seed/soil contact and gives the cows’ better footing but shallow disking, broadcast, disc and drag and you are good to go. Need to do it much earlier than ryegrass overseeding to help you any, say by the end of Sept. If your grass is still growing, that is a problem for cereal rye. Look for a field you can convert to winter pasture every year. You can graze rye in Nov-Dec, rye/clover in Feb-March and ryegrass march- June all in the same field. That is 7 months; I doubt you have other pasture that productive. This set up is where I do the crabgrass as well for another 3 months. It takes some time and several days on the tractor, but that is another positive for me, a day on the tractor is awesome. [/QUOTE]
