You are certainly right about that Randy, but the deal here is that it grows the same time as your wheat. Which means there are years (most years it seems) that we don't get the moisture to get it started in the summer after cutting the wheat. That means you can't kill it if it isn't growing. Then while doing tillage work, it more or less just plants the seeds back in the ground, to be a pain in the rear for next wheat harvest.
Some people will try wicking their wheat, because the rye is so much taller, but that has to be done late in the growing season, and is hard on the wheat. Leaves tracks in the fields, every dip means booms touching the wheat and killing it as well.
Trust me when I say Rye is a cuss word here in KS, and probably the whole Midwest. Where rain is more prevalent, it is not such and issue. Bob
