New crop oats

[Taiga]

Always straight cut without desiccation here, at 56 degrees latitude, had a lot of green tillers last year with the death heat in June/July but two weeks on air and all was good. Except the poor yield.

Awesome guys. Thanks for the info.

I’m wondering if preharvest glyphosate doesn’t make standing oats more prone to shelling.

The only ones you sell are the ones in the bin.

Swathing can result in some large losses too.

Growing swathes suck too. BTDT

I have straight cut oats for years and years, and have never sprayed them with glyph. And have had no losses that I know of. Different everywhere I guess. I am also a small enough farm that I can be patient and hurry up and wait.

Last year my oats would not cure standing. They were the first planted. Ended up baling and feeding right away cause I was “done” harvest. Think if I was patient and maybe swathed them they would have dried down.

I like Camden because of standability but they’re comparable if not a bit inferior to Morgan in terms of yield and early maturity. With these millers seeming to be becoming fussier than maltsters about varieties and quality; what types are most of you guys using?

[Taiga]

Sticking with Morgan’s for a long time yet, haven’t had any issues getting rid of them. Made 49lbs/bu last year but of course hardly any yield.
I have done well with heavy Mustang sold as pony oat grade.
I think our weights are likely heavier up north?

The irony. The best oat yield and quality I ever had was with good old derby’s. First few years I grew oats in the mid nineties.

I also remember getting 1.35 a bushel that first year.

Interesting oats are a part of you cash cropping over there.

Here most grow some for hay and grain to replenish feed stocks for sheep.

Myself out of 7600 acres of wheat barley rye lupins canola beans and oats. Oats makes up 185 acres.

Do you harvest enough for seed?

I’d think further north in the parkland areas bushel weights are heavy as a rule. I don’t know but I have no trouble hitting at least 40#. Think mine range from 43 to 48 Avery.
