ryelage



Help!

Need assistance answering two questions:
1.  typical, average yield of ryelage (annual rye harvested as silage) in 
teh mid-Atlantic or northeast United States, and ..
2. typical method/procedure of valuing the crop.

Have a grower who neds help negotiating purchase of ryelage in the
field for his dairy cattle.  I relaize yields are harder to estimate,
given regional and immediate geographical issues, but how about the value 
question?  Should we base it on grass hay of a similar nutrient-profile
grass?  (adjusted for moisture of course).  Or is there another way?

Thanks,
