Perennial ryegrass is also known as English ryegrass or winter ryegrass.
Both Rye and ryegrass help the soil.
You will no more see "grain" Rye at the big box store than you would see hard winter wheat.

In Texas a lot of oats is planted in the fall in fields.
Not only is it used as pasture for cattle and a dear magnet it is use for food.

I can begin to count how many acres of oats I have sown.
