A research trial was established in the fall of 2017 at the Arlington Agricultural Research Station, Arlington, WI to help determine the value of hybrid winter rye as a forage. Three hybrid winter rye varieties were tested along with one winter triticale variety. The first cutting was taken at Feekes 10.1 (head emergence), and a second cutting was taken at Feekes 11.1 (kernel milky ripe).
