HOW TO GROW RYE

SOWING
Rye can establish in very cool weather. It will germinate at temperatures as low as 34° F. Vegetative growth requires 38° F or warmer. Rye is more sensitive to seeding depth than other cereals, so plant no deeper than 2”.

MANAGEMENT

Winter Annual Seed from late summer to midfall in Hardiness Zones 3–7 and from fall to midwinter in Zones 8 and warmer. In the Upper Midwest and cool New England states, seed two to eight weeks earlier than a wheat or rye grain crop to ensure maximum fall, winter and spring growth. Elsewhere, your tillage system and the amount of fall growth you prefer will help determine planting date.

Mixed Seeding Sow rye at the lowest locally recommended rate when seeding with a legume and at low to medium rates with other grasses. In a Maryland study, a mix of 42 lbs of rye and 19 lbs of hairy vetch per acre was the optimum fall seeding rate before no-till corn on a silt loam soil. If planting with clovers, seed rye at a slightly higher rate, about 56 lbs per acre.

Spring Seeding Although it’s not a common practice, you can spring seed cereals such as rye as a weed-suppressing companion, relay crop or early forage. Because it won’t have a chance to vernalize, the rye can’t set seed and dies on its own within a few months in many areas. This provides good weed control in asparagus, says Rich deWilde, Viroqua, WI.

Management Cautions Although rye’s extensive root system provides quick weed suppression and helps soil structure, don’t expect dramatic soil improvement from a single stand’s growth. Left in a poorly draining field too long, a rye cover could slow soil and warming even further, delaying crop planting. It’s also not a silver bullet for eliminating herbicides. Expect to deal with some late-season weeds in subsequent crops.

KILLING

Nutrient Availability Rye grows and matures rapidly in spring, but its maturity date varies depending on soil moisture and temperature. Tall and stemmy, rye immobilizes nitrogen as it decomposes. The nitrogen tie-up varies directly with the maturity of the rye. Mineralization of nitrogen is very slow, so don’t count on rye’s over wintered nitrogen becoming available quickly. Killing rye early, while it’s still succulent, is one way to minimize nitrogen tie-up and conserve soil moisture. But spring rains can be problematic with rye, especially before an nitrogen-demanding crop, such as corn. Late killing of rye can deplete soil moisture and could produce more residue than your tillage system can handle. For no-till corn in humid climates, however, summer soil-water conservation by cover crop residues often was more important than spring moisture depletion by growing cover crops.

Legumes Combo Offset yield reductions from rye’s immobilization of nitrogen by increasing your nitrogen application. Grow rye with a legume allows you to delay killing the covers by a few weeks and sustain yields. This gives the legume more time to fix nitrogen, in some cases doubling the nitrogen contribution, and rye more time to scavenge a little more leachable nitrogen. The higher residue level can conserve soil moisture. For best results, wait about 10 days after killing the covers before planting a crop. This ensures adequate soil warming, dry enough conditions for planter coulters to cut cleanly and minimizes allelopathic effects from rye residue.

Kill Before it Matures Tilling under rye usually eliminates regrowth, unless the rye is less than 12 inches tall. Rye often is plowed or disked in the Midwest when it’s about 20” tall. Incorporating the rye before it’s 18 in. high could decrease tie-up of soil N. In Pennsylvania and elsewhere, kill at least 10 days before planting corn. For best results when mow-killing rye, wait until it has begun flowering. A long-day plant, rye is encouraged to flower by 14 hours of daylight and a temperature of at least 40° F. A sickle bar mower can give better results than a flail mower, which causes matting that can hinder emergence of subsequent crops. To learn more see the SARE link below.

ADAPTATION
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. Rye will survive with snow cover that would otherwise result in winter-kill for winter wheat.

TOLERANCE
Rye is more cold and drought-tolerant than wheat. Oats and barley do better than rye in hot weather.

PESTS
Rye is a good choice before a small grain crop such as wheat or barley unless you can kill rye reliably and completely, as volunteer rye seed would lower the value of other grains. While insect infestations are rarely serious with rye, as with any cereal grain crop occasional problems occur. If armyworms have been a problem, for example, killing rye before a corn crop could move the pests into the corn.

Expect very few diseases when growing rye as a cover crop. A rye-based mulch can reduce diseases in some cropping systems. No-till transplanting tomatoes into a mix of rye/vetch/crimson clover, for example, consistently has been shown to delay the onset of early blight in several locations in the Northeast. The mulch presumably reduces soil splashing onto the leaves of the tomato plants.

Rye, ryegrain or cereal rye is a cereal grain and should not be confused with ryegrass, which is used for lawns, pasture and hay for livestock. The hardiest of cereals, rye can be seeded later in fall than other cover crops and still provide considerable dry matter, an extensive soil-holding root system, significant reduction of nitrate leaching and exceptional weed suppression. Taller and quicker-growing than wheat, rye can serve as a windbreak and trap snow or hold rainfall over winter. It over seeds readily into many high-value and agronomic crops and resumes growth quickly in spring, allowing timely killing by rolling, mowing or herbicides. Pair rye with a winter annual legume such as hairy vetch to offset rye’s tendency to tie up soil nitrogen in spring. Fall-planted rye shows fast growth. By the summer solstice, plants reach their maximum height of about a 4’ (120 cm) while spring-planted wheat has only recently germinated.

A Maryland study credited rye with holding 60 percent of the residual N that could have leached from a silt loam soil following intentionally over-fertilized corn. A Georgia study estimated rye captured from 69 to 100 percent of the residual N after a corn crop. Rye increases the concentration of exchangeable potassium (K) near the soil surface, by bringing it up from lower in the soil profile.

In most regions, rye can serve as an over wintering cover crop after corn or before or after soybeans, fruits or vegetables. Rye also works well as a strip cover crop and windbreak within vegetables or fruit crops and as a quick cover for rotation gaps or if another crop fails. You can over seed rye into vegetables and tasseling or silking corn with consistently good results. You also can over seed rye into brassicas, into soybeans just before leaf drop or between pecan tree rows.

An excellent source of residue in no-till and minimum-tillage systems and as a straw source, rye provides up to 10,000 pounds of dry matter per acre, with 3,000 to 4,000 lbs typical in the Northeast. A rye cover crop might yield too much residue, depending on your tillage system, so be sure your planting regime for subsequent crops can handle this.

Rye is one of the best cool season cover crops for out competing weeds, especially small-seeded, light-sensitive annuals such as lambsquarters, redroot pigweed, velvetleaf, chickweed and foxtail. Rye also suppresses many weeds allelopathically, including dandelions and Canada thistle and has been shown to inhibit germination of some triazine-resistant weeds. Rye reduced total weed density an average of 78% when rye residue covered more than 90 percent of soil in a Maryland no-till study, and by 99% in a California study.

Rye bread, including pumpernickel, is a widely eaten food in Northern and Eastern Europe. Rye is also used to make crisp bread. Rye flour is high in gliadin but low in glutenin. It therefore has a lower gluten content than wheat flour. It also contains a higher proportion of soluble fiber.

Rye is one of a number of species that grow wild in central and eastern Turkey and in adjacent areas. Domesticated rye occurs in small quantities at a number of Neolithic sites in Turkey, such as PPNB Can Hasan III, but is otherwise virtually absent from the archaeological record until the Bronze Age of central Europe, c. 1800–1500 BC. It is possible that rye traveled west from Turkey as a minor admixture in wheat and was only later cultivated in its own right.

Why Politics in a Tech Book????
Format: Kindle
Well... I'm surprised to see the book blatently calls out its dedication to Black Lives Matter, which is in all caps so I assume it's referring to the political organization. It goes on to speak of 2020 being the year of an "awakening of injustices of systematic racism"... I thought I was buying a technical book??? Had I known this political bs was included I wouldn't have purchased it! However, I bought and I'm still reading it. If the politics goes away and the TECHNICAL content is good I'll update my review.

Not good use of time
Format: Paperback
It’s not clear who this book targets - neither experts nor novice will benefit. There are expert perspectives, only few of these are helpful, rest are too generic to be of any use. For instance the last entry is one an engineer who shares how she went from zero to expert in cloud engineering in six months but fails to mention a single resource or pathway for others to follow.

Uneven compendium of tips and insights, but still very useful
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
“In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not" is why such bottom-up insights and lessons from the field are the fastest way to learn real life stuff. This series had a GREAT start with "Engineering Management" - I guess because it is way more subjective than Cloud Engineering and offered a variety of non-overlapping POVs. This one is a mixed bag, perhaps because "Cloud Engineering" was perceived amorphously by the authors. The scope was broad - from cloud-native (architecture), to cloud-ready (topology), to cloud-operations, to choosing tech (e.g., Lambda/serverless), to -ilities and economics -- it is like celebrating Halloween, Christmas and Labor Day together in a single long weekend. I would give it 4/+ stars if at least 25% of such a book was "superb", giving 3 because about 10% of the book is. That still leaves 10 solid insights or learning that would otherwise take many failures to learn. And failures, especially in this emerging domain of complexity, is VERY expensive. Would love to see more books like this. Let's summarize some key insights - -- Real-time visibility across the entire DevOps lifecycle is key to winning in cloud. -- Operations, especially operations at scale, is extremely hard. So, wherever possible, use Managed Services. -- Distinguish between "availability" and "uptime" and measure each separately, and concretely. -- In FaaS/Serverless, calling a function synchronously increases debugging complexity. -- Good code is like good joke - it needs no explanation. -- "Building your app or platform on top of the abstractions that a cloud provider gives you does not make the underlying layers stop existing. In many cases, it makes them even more important." That makes the failure modes LESS obvious than we were used to. Therefore having "extreme visibility" into your systems will help "separate the issues at the layer you're focused on from the fundamental system issues". i.e., just because what was under the hood is now even less visible, don't forget them. Many recent "cloud failures" have been in networking fault domains. -- Cloud is not optimized for replacing static infrastructures. -- Containers, service meshes and serverless jumpstart dev productivity but they also change the attack surface of apps and infra. -- "Number of containers that are alive for 10 sec or less has doubled to 22%". 73% of all containers live for 30 minutes or less. -- Adopt an "assume breach" stance for everything. Have a break-glass account. -- Ensure you have a thorough understanding of where and how secrets are secured. -- Grey failures (transient degradation of services) are often worse than complete crashes, since the latter have a short feedback loop. -- Resilience engineering has existed as a sub-discipline within safety sciences. We just recently started applying its concepts in technology. Resilience can be thought of as a "socio-technical system" with Robustness ("system X has property Y that is robust in sense Z to perturbation W"); Reliability (consistent operations or service levels); Rebound (ability to deal with a chaotic situation using structures developed AND deployed BEFORE the chaos). In other words, robustness protects systems against a SPECIFIC type of failure mode. When a system is robust in many dimensions, it approaches good resilience to failure. -- Resilience is something you "do", not something you "have". Resilience is a verb. -- Moving from one class of nines to the next is 10 times more expensive. -- Production System really means "system that someone else, anyone else, can hold you accountable for". -- Most common theme across incidents is that something, somewhere was surprising. -- Incidents are unplanned investments...your challenge is to maximize ROI. -- We used to think of scale in two dimensions - horizontal (more) and vertical (bigger). In cloud, think of "scale out" (when demands increase) and "scale in" (when demand decreases). -- Architecture diagram is also a map of failure modes. -- Async communication is a friend of Cloud Reliability. -- Test in production is a competitive advantage. The complexity of traffic patterns going through high-scale production systems is increasingly harder to reproduce in a controlled env. -- Hundreds of open issues is fine, but if the repo has gone months (or, years!) without a release, THAT is a warning sign. -- It is hard to write good tests for bad code. -- Platforms come and go. But first principles and patterns will always exist, because they are the ones and zeros.

Shallow, biased and significantly overpriced
Format: Paperback
Well, this purchase was a disappointment. 20% of the pages are dedicated to just highlighting the bios and backgrounds of the many different authors that contributed this great wisdom. And let me be clear, the authors are solid. They are professionals with credible backgrounds and experience. But it's the format and constraints of this book that makes it virtually impossible for that to shine through. Because the rest of the book (80%) is dedicated to the so called "97 things every cloud engineer should know". And unfortunately the average length of one of these "things" is about 1.5 pages long, and as such extremely shallow and in about 30% of the cases straight up promotions for specific company services. You will find Google cloud advocates telling you to use managed services, of Google of course. AWS engineers telling you to avoid them and use IaaS. LaunchDarkly employees telling you to use feature flags. The list goes on. The TL;DR: here is that if you have built anything on the cloud in the last 2 years, this book is going to be a waste of your time and money. You are better of googling: "cloud best practices" and dedicating 2h to reading the first 10 non-ad related search results.

Improve Your Relationships
Format: Kindle
In Relationship Goals, Michael Todd has written a book that discussed marriage, dating, and even singleness to help us to grow in our relationships. He wants to help readers to win in relationships and he encouraged us to read the Bible and set goals to improve our relationships. Godly relationships consist of sacrificing for others, displaying kindness, integrity, forgiving others, and loving others. Scriptures declare that we must first love God with all our heart, soul, and mind see Matthew 22:37-38. We are also called to love our neighbors as ourselves (verse 39). He explained how we are supposed to have good relationships with others even if you are introverted. One of the keys, he uses is asking himself does this relationship help me. When we meet the right person, they will help us toward our purpose in life and they will believe in us and love us and they will fit. But if they are moving you away from God, run. He shared how he met his wife when he was 15 years old at a mutual friend’s birthday party. He did everything to make sure she noticed him. This led to a spark and they dated for 8 years except when they experienced an 8-month breakup and he explained what happened. They eventually reconnected and got married in 2010. I liked how he talked about lot about singleness and how in this time of our life could be the most important time. The reason why is because it’s a time we can focus on what God wants to reveal to us about ourselves and who we are. We are become self-aware and find purpose. This can help us to become whole before we commit to someone else. This is a critical time to heal from our past pains and deal with our fears. You can use this time to get closer to God and getting to know Him. I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is ready to improve their relationships it doesn’t have to be just romantic relationships. The same principles can apply to friendships. This book is a very well written book about dating and marriage and how we can change the scope of our relationship. I also liked how he explored the important keys to having a good marriage and what men need and what women needs and the differences. He tries to assist readers in understand each other in marriage and I believe if readers really tried to work on these lessons, they would be less divorce and our marriages would be a stronger example to our children. This book is an awesome book for couples to read and reflect on.
