QUICK HAY CROP AFTER WHEAT HARVEST

 

Byron Seeds offers “Teff Grass”, which is also known as “Israeli wheat”.    When your grass pastures are in summer heat dormancy, this stuff will grow vigorously and produce a crop of fine stem, soft leaf hay that has great palatability.

In planting after wheat, you get the benefit of a crop that will help suppress the weeds that show up in the wheat stubble.    As an annual, you will get one cut and once you get a heavy frost, it will kill out, but leave you with a clean field for your next spring row crop of soybeans or corn.

Or, as it is unrelated to any grass or legume, there is no allopathic effect to inhibit a following spring seeding on well-drained soil.

Byron has an incredible variety of seeds—corn, soybeans, small grains, sorghums all types, brassicas, “Synergy X” alfalfa blends, higher energy grass varieties, and cover crop mixes.    There is so much creativity built into their offerings.    Ask us for the “summer annual” book.
