So as I ride by the rye field I notice a recurring pattern of light green and dark green forage streaks. Seems each streak is about 3 feet wide. Looks like a football field when each 5 yards was mowed in a different direction. This field was fallow/weeds in the summer. I mowed the tall weeds, and then burned down a couple weeks later with RU before disking a few weeks after that. I spread nitrogen in a wide swath, seeded, and chain dragged to cover up the seed and dry fertilizer. The only thing that might line up with the streaky pattern was the mowing. Could it be that the residue is more concentrated on one side of the mower and is now releasing more nutrients to the rye? All the other operations were a much wider swath. And would the darker areas be where the residue is or where it is not? About a month and a half between mowing and planting
