It is not too late to establish rye into your 2022 food plot program here in the northern tier of ststes but, your opportunity within the growing season is slowly coming to it's end.
Farmers across the region are chopping corn for silage, and many will still be seeding winter rye as a cover crop well into the month of October. And the deer will be thanking those farmers for it. Especially if we have harsh conditions going into late deer season and into next spring. Do you have a all but failed food plot, or want to establish a food plot this year? Sandy/rocky soils? Then perhaps you should consider the using winter rye as part of your food plot program.

No, Rick, it is not too late. And, are you drilling the rye or broadcasting?
