Why Hybrid Rye for Silage?

Hybrid Rye silage is a high energy, nutrient dense feedstuff that provides high quality soluble fibers critical to rumen health and animal performance.

• Profit Potential – opportunity to implement double cropping systems and ultimately more tons of silage per acre.
• Crop Durability – wider and deeper root system which improves drought tolerance, requires fewer fertilizer inputs and has been bred for high disease resistance.
• Risk Management – diversifies risk compared to only planting spring crops.
• Workload Management – allows management of more acres with similar labor.
• Environmental Management – uses less water than other cereals and improves soil health by reducing erosion and nutrient leaching.
