[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 508712, member: 4362"] You are right. Cereal rye seed is much larger than ryegrass. Actually the proper rate would be two bushels of rye if using a drill, three if broadcast. However, I backed up the rate cause I wanted to give the rape some room to grow. I added the rye to the rape to dilute down the feed value as rape has a very high food value. We have wild turnips here too. Our cows don't neccessarily like them. Nor do they like rape at first. But once they get a taste of rape they eat it well. Consequently I have learned that if I move them directly from a rape field to a field with a lot of wild turnips they will eat the turnips whether they have bolted or not. I thought this was rather interesting. [/QUOTE]
