Rye
* can be overseed by air more consistently than many other cover crops
  - whole, or flour, grits, or meal
* common rotational crop that is known to suppress weed growth through rapid competition.
* contains little gluten, so produces breads with low volume and a dense texture
  - substantial amounts of soluble fibre
* good source of amino acids, carbohydrates and protein.
* grows best on poor, infertile, sandy soils than other cereals
  - in cold, infertile soils
* has finer roots and it's residue lasts longer into the season.
* huge success at growing in poor soils under frigid conditions.
* is aged in charred oak barrels for at least a year.
* is also very susceptible to ergot
  - tolerant of low winter temperatures
  - another grain used for baking as bread
  - cereal grass
  - commercially available as malt, roasted malt, and in rolled, flaked, and whole grain form
  - cross pollinated and sterility is frequent
* is more cold tolerant than oats and generally produces more forage than either oats or wheat
  - plentiful because conditions are too harsh for growing wheat
  - planted primarily for grazing but occasionally is harvested for grain
  - resistant and oats are immune to the insect
  - second only to wheat for flour production
  - still one of the most important flour sources in Northern Europe and in Scandinavia
  - supposed to have originated in the Orient
  - the main winter grain in the north, where winters are more severe and the soils less fertile
* is the most popular bread corn in Finland
  - winter hardy of all the cereals
