Rye grass

Been battling Rye grass eradication for over a yer now as I reseeded last fall with Orchard and got about 80% Rye
Rye seems to be dying out. Any ideas on how to proceed this year with Orchard grass?

You will probably have to burn it off with something like Roundup then reseed to get rid of the rye grass. It will need to be all killed in the field to eradicate it.

Most popular is annual. It is sold as annual but it's a prolific re-seeder. I have a thick stand annually and decided as a result to double crop. I bale the Rye when I can get a dry window in the Spring and in early summer when my summer hay crops are maturing I bale then. The Rye dies out about the time the summer crop starts producing.

To get rid of it naturally you have to stop the reseeding process for a couple of years.....no seeds, no crop the next year, and the following year a light crop and the 3rd year you should be rid of it.
