In Canada and US "winter rye" can be bought from a feedstore.

Try asking for cereal rye, ryecorn or ryegrain in a feedstore. It is a cereal grain which looks like barley - but smaller. Check that it has no preservatives/fungicides if you find it as seedstock.

Ryegrass looks like lawn grass seed and is NOT what you want. Here's a good primer on the difference:

@halo
Ooops! I guess you didn't need that primer. (Many do. )

Cereal rye is not available in feedstores in NZ? There's always the LHBS if you don't mind their prices.

@jase
Dunno f you were talking to me - but I've never posted on youtube.

fair enough, theres a young guy working on a dairy farm who makes his own grog, likes blowing stuff up, he's put it on youtube. How's calving at the moment?

[halo]

no not me half way threw calving only 200 togo Im on count down as this is my last season Selling my herd time for a change
you dont know where to get rye from do you?

[jase1977]

Hauraki might be able to help out. If they cant help I don't think any one NZ could. I looked Rye up on Wikipedia and it seems to be a northern thing.

What's the plans after selling herd? (apart from having a well deserved holiday)

[halo]

affter selling up really dont know first time in 22 years i have know idea of whats round the corner worked every day sine leaving school in the 4th form so its going to be a massive change.

[jase1977]

dry stock farming? my dad makes a good income buying and selling small dry stock units, buys real rough places does them up and flicks them. Otherwise forestry is always looking for good workers.
