Oats acreage going up big time.

[blackpowder]

Ha ha. At least here there is no way we can grow oats economically.

[hobbyfrmr]

oats is a poverty crop. The extra acres are coming from guys who
cant afford the inputs for a good canola crop on canola stubble.

Supposedly oats is the best cultivar to sow to break the fusarium pattern. Do not grainbag so really not an optiom for me. 150bus/acre can crush storage pretty quick.

Yup. Peas-oats-wheat-canola

no fuzz

Easy on the land too. No cut worm issues


Make a big pile... just make sure you can get rid of it in one year

Our elevator tries to time a train close to when we combine our oats so we don't have to bin much .

I've got quite a bit of storage if oats is going to be sub $2/bu - bins and cattle LOL.

Oats is most often is our best netting crops. If you get them up and growing before any big rains they will then grow and yield good even if is a wet summer. Bin space is always the problem unless you like bags and ravens like that idea. I don't like to sell then for less than 2.50 but if you have then in bags and spring is coming you might have to sell them. Any time they are over 3.00 its good.

Oat prices would be much lower right now if it wasn't for the fact that a lot of oats were left out in the field in this area. Many of those fields were 120+. If they had been harvested, oats would be $2 right now and there would be no oat frenzy right now.
