WASHINGTON - Jun 28/24- SNS -- The 2024 planted area for rye is estimated at 2.2 million acres, down 4% from 2023, according to the USDA's seeded area estimates for 2024.

Harvested area is expected to total 378,000 acres, up 17% from last year. Producers expect to harvest 17% of the planted acres for grain. If realized, this harvest ratio would be the highest since 2016.
