Cereals Grown For Forage

    The common cereal crops, such as rye, oats, wheat and barley, are often grown for forage. Rye and oats are used for this purpose more often than any others, although it is a common practice to cut any cereal for hay if conditions are such that it is not likely to mature a crop of grain. Rye is being very successfully grown for late and early pasturage in many localities, and its cultivation is becoming more general each year. It is already quite extensively grown in central Colorado, northern Wyoming and some parts of Montana. Sown in early autumn, it gets the benefit of the rains and snows of fall, winter and early spring and usually matures a fair crop in addition to furnishing much pasturage, when spring sown crops would fail unless artificially artificially watered.-----             Thomas A Williams
