Cut it with a hand scythe...then compost it..or let it dry.. If you let it dry it will add organic matter.

I mowed my rye today Nic. Still to wet to till, but I could see a few heads starting to form. I had to mow over it several time to get it chopped up good. It's the only choice at this point.

Same problem here. Still too wet to till. My rye is growing good in certain spots but it is just too wet for even it to grow good....what a season so far and it is my best spot in the patch the last 3 years....I may just mow it down...
