Summary

Interseeding cereal rye into corn for grazing after harvest offers additional forage and revenue with minimal impact on corn grain yield. Soil health indicators remained unchanged between grazed and non-grazed plots in this agroecosystem study.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Agronomy
  • Ecosystem Management

Background:

  • Corn (Zea mays) grain harvest timing limits cover crop establishment.
  • Interseeding cover crops into growing corn offers a solution for late-season forage.
  • Grazing cover crops post-harvest can enhance farm revenue and nutrient cycling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of interseeding cereal rye (Secale cereale) into corn for grazing on corn grain yield.
  • To assess the potential for late-season grazing of cover crops following corn harvest.
  • To determine the effect of grazing on soil health indicators and forage productivity.

Main Methods:

  • Cereal rye was interseeded into corn fields in early June.
  • Post-corn harvest, paddocks were randomly assigned to grazed (GRAZ) or not grazed (NG) treatments.
  • Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) were used to monitor spatial forage yield and quality.

Main Results:

  • Cereal rye provided 20-30 additional autumn grazing days for beef cattle.
  • Corn grain yields were not significantly reduced, except in a dry year (2019) where yields decreased by 40%.
  • No significant differences in soil health indicators were observed between grazed and non-grazed paddocks.

Conclusions:

  • Interseeding cereal rye for grazing is a viable strategy to increase farm revenue and extend the grazing season.
  • Cover crop grazing shows potential for ecosystem services without compromising corn grain yield.
  • UAS technology shows promise for optimizing forage management in integrated crop-livestock systems.
