Cereal rye

Cereal rye is a type of grain crop belonging to the wheat family, commonly grown for animal feed, soil health, and cover cropping. It is hardy, fast-growing, and well-suited to a variety of climates, especially in cooler seasons. Farmers use cereal rye to prevent soil erosion, improve soil fertility, and suppress weeds. It can be harvested for grain or used as a cover crop to protect and enrich farmland during off-seasons. Its resilient nature and benefits to soil make cereal rye a versatile and environmentally friendly choice for sustainable agriculture.
