no, you'd have to disk up the wheat or rye first. it will look like 6" high grass.
rye is also allelopathic, even when it's decomposing.
I thought I'd share the definition of allelopathic since I didn't know what it meant.
Allelopathic:
The inhibition of growth in one species of plants by chemicals produced by another species.
Or in other words rye will suppress weeds from growing in your food plots as well as suppress
crops that you want to have grow in your plots.
