Hi Ieva
I’ve done research on the Rye in South Africa. There are 2 kinds of Rye. Rye Wheat and Rye Grass. Which one are you after? This is a winter crop and stays green throughout winter and then becomes brown during the summer season. In SA we have in some areas only the Rye Grass. I have been in contact with the Agricultural Ass in SA and are still trying to locate were you can find fields if any. I also compared the Rye flower to the Wheat Flower. Rye is much finer and longer than wheat, But from a distance you can’t tell the diffrence between the two. Rye and wheat gets harvest around the middle to end of January or Area dependant. I think the best option is to create this field in a area to your needs. South Africa Greens People are top of their class. I hope we can issist you in your project.
When do you plan to shoot?
