PSQ · Jan 12, 2017

Yes, growing spring oats for the first time ('tame' ones anyway

), will be watching this thread with interest...

Mkfm · Jan 12, 2017

Yes, 100 acre, but I've got a contract

capt.spiffing · Jan 12, 2017

They are a cracking crop and hope it works out for those who are doing so....contract is certainly the better for oats!.....
I need some if it helps!.

Grow 30-40acres of S Oats every year Fab Break Crop...
Cheap to grow aim for 2.5-3t & thats even at lower seed rates for HLS rules
i must have done sumfink write as i had the best sample in our grain Co-op last harvest
I grow Winter Ones aswell & mind they look like a 5" new bowling green atm

did anyone suffer from header losses much last season in their spring oats, defo weren't coming over the back as it was all over the field,only two reasons left for losses were either got shook out a bit with wind or header losses.

A Little but far worse in my winter ones...
Advice to self Spray off & dont go near for 3wks !!!

juke · Jan 12, 2017

That's exactly what we did, 2 weeks after spraying winds came so putting it down to that , on the plus side they were rediculosy dry going into meldon but I think most folks were

Takes ages to get the moisture out the bloody stalks to combine yet the oats are dry,
Result is combine puts them over the back

Farma Parma · Jan 12, 2017

lost 1/2t/ac coz of my impatience

Farma Parma · Jan 12, 2017

Winter ones these were the spring ones easily had 3wks & were like night n day to combine

bobk · Jan 12, 2017

What's the harvest date for spring oats ?

juke · Jan 12, 2017

End of August begining of September in Durham .. for combining ..
Our losses were nothing as heavy as that or. Think we did about 3 t of them last season gone so that was canny

Our winters were nice sort thigh high crop to cut , n the springs are chest high in places , would hate too see what they would of been like without a growth reg.

Yes, we are planning to grow perhaps 50ac this time so will be reading up on everybody's thoughts on how to get the best out of them

No but I couldn't keep my spring drilled Mascani in the combine

no bother at all with the winter drilled stuff. I think I will try spring beans this year as my land is getting ready for a bit of a rest from cereals.

Bobthebuilder · Jan 12, 2017

Got 25ac of winter oats to drill as soon as it's dry enough

rob1 · Jan 12, 2017
