Too late for Winter Wheat????

[stevep]

I'm in Central IL, and I know it's late, but is it too late to throw some winter wheat on a field for a plot? I've got 2 little 1.5 acre plots that I'd like to disc up now that I have the means, and I was going to throw some WW on them. Anything would be better than the mess that I have on them right now.

Also, if it's not too late, what rate would you plant at? I'll just be broadcasting it.

....this forecast... no. Might consider rye tho.

What makes rye better? Quicker growth?

Deer like rye better, but you could do half and half just to experiment

Rye will germinate in cooler soil and grow longer into the fall/winter.
I planted some rye I had left over in my garden 14 days ago. It is 4" tall and the deer are have been hammering it. In my garden so it received a good watering. Good luck
