[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 837690, member: 8973"] I am north of Copenhagen and there is often some confusion between rye and rye grass when the subject is broached. Cereal rye or rye grain are what I use as ground cover to reduce erosion or as a nurse crop and not for forage. Rye grass I sow in the Fall for late Winter/early Spring grazing and I typically use Marshall rye grass as the type. Cereal rye will come up regardless of how it is sown here. Rye grass broadcast at 10 lbs per acre will establish decent supplemental grazing. I do pull a worn out drag harrow while broadcasting using the small tractor unless the ground is wet. If wet, I broad cast using the 4 wheeler and if the herd is nearby I often will let them walk the seed in. I also find that after several years of doing this that the annual rye grass will either reseed itself or regrow to where I do not have to sow each year. Through some searching a person could possibly find an old Tye "pasture pleaser" small sod drill as they were once common in this area. I saw a good one sell for $500 last Fall. [/QUOTE]
