rye grass

[M5farm]

is 11 sacks enough for 27 acres?

that's 20# to an acre is plenty if your grass is real short and you can see the soil. I just planted 25# to acre because my grass 6" 8" tall. some seed will get hung up and wont get to the soil. I always try to plant right before a rain and it will help wash the seeds in contact with the dirt. I broadcast mine sunday and we have a steady rain this morning.

we made the 11 sacks cover it.but couldve used 4 more sacks to really cover it good.

We use 15lbs per acer of rye grass if planted with oats or rye. If planted alone in sod we use 30lbs per acer

Perinneal ryegrass acts like an annual in the south and will die off. You would be just as well off to plant annual ryegrass because the seed is cheaper.

The seed is the cheap part of planting. I like to have plenty of seed.

Oh i see...well dang...what's a good seed to put in with fescue for more protein that's acts like fescue as far as growth and can take a beating with cattle grazing it April to oct? Fescue fine just wanted something with more protein to it. Heard rye good but don't want it just for winter.. Thanks.
