The bailing season has begun, my grower asked my husband if he wanted a few bails of rye hay to go with our orchard/alfalfa mixed.. * rye was cheaper* , the grower said the rye was pretty rich... so my husband opted for NO.. I have run a search to find out the nutritional content of rye hay and can't find it... is it similar to orchard grass..?

Hello Ann,
Is this rye grain (Secale spp.) that was cut immature for forage or is this ryegrass (Lolium spp.)? If it is ryegrass you will find it in the article on forages, if it is the grain plant I will have to do a bit of research but I suspect it is extremely variable depending on maturity.
