New research from CSAS PhD student @peteinnes.bsky.social has defined the vernalization requirements of the candidate perennial grain crops Mountain Rye and Intermediate Wheat Grass. This will help in identifying appropriate production regions for these novel crops. academic.oup.com/aobpla/artic...
A study of the vernalization requirements of mountain rye (Secale strictum syn. S. montanum) may help explain low grain yields of perennial cereals compared to wheat
Most cereal grains are annuals that need replanting each year. Perennial cereals are being developed that can be grazed and harvested for grain yearly but

It is that time of the year that we cut out perennial pasture grass for hay. This is the most profitable block on the farm. #Perennial plants allow establishment cost to be deferred over multiple years and the risks with planting every year are eliminated. Also plenty of soil benifits.

This was a cool development in Denmark in 2024.
Looking to 2025, as countries update their climate commitments (NDCs), they should include agriculture-specific GHG reduction targets and incorporate agricultural mitigation measures.
