I have been cash cropping Rye straw for about seven years now. The rye gets alot taller and gives more straw that way. The first few years I had the neighbor come in with the big N6 or 9 I am not sure but that oleGleaner really eats the material I beleve 350 horsey powers. Any ways Then for the last 4 years or so I have cut it green and let the sun bleach it out for premium White straw. I still only get $2.00 a bale but I could get more probly $3.00 Its just the good name people trust.

I tryed to sell to a land scaping company my first few years untill they said that hydroseeding is much cheaper and did not want the straw. I live in westeren central NY if this helps you. JON
