Overview

The United States is a significant producer of rye. The 2010 rye crop totaled more than 7.4 million bushels and was valued at more than $39.0 million, reflecting an average U.S. price of $5.25 per bushel. All of these indicators increased as did the area harvested and the yield per acre.

Much of the U.S. rye production takes place in Georgia and Oklahoma. In 2010 Georgia produced 960,000 bushels of rye, and Oklahoma produced 1.5 million bushels of rye. Both Georgia and Oklahoma harvested more acres and had higher yields in 2010, leading to significantly higher production. (NASS 2011)  September 2011 ... Rye
