Anyone ever plant ryegrass on prepared land late? Just wondering how it would do. Have a few acres of prepared land that was planted in rye and it just didn't do well. Of course it seems this was the norm around here this year as no one's did. Normally, ryegrass is planted here around Oct - Nov but some as late as December. It will grow till May. The soil is fertilized and I can get the seed at a discount since it is surplus. Just wondering if it was worth a try. Don't plan on doing that many acres so the money part isn't going to kill me if it fails. We are finally getting some moisture and the conditions are perfect for growth. I just hate having these conditions with nothing growing. I guess the question is, how long would it take to become grazable under optimal conditions. :???:
