WASHINGTON - Jun 30/16 - SNS -- The 2016 planted area for rye in the U.S. is estimated at 1.76 million acres, up 12% from 2015, according to the USDA's seeded area estimates for 2016.
Harvested area is expected to total 443,000 acres, up 23% from last year. Planted and harvested area is up from last year due to the addition of four states to the estimating program.
