Young Brunette Girl In The Field Of Rye

Other uses of rye include rye whiskey and an alternative medicine known as rye extract. Rye straw is used to make corn dollies.
Cultivation
Rye grows well in much poorer soils than those necessary for most cereal grains. Thus, it is an especially valuable crop in regions where the soil has sand or peat. Rye plants withstand cold better than other small grains do. Most farmers grow winter ryes, which are planted and begin to grow in autumn. In spring, the plants develop and produce their crop.
