Maybe the gap could be filled with imports? Just asking for a minister.

Me too
Mostly Organic sourcing for all foods, if we can get it
Pay a bit more for decent quality and avoid 'processed' food if at all possible

If glyphosate free then yes I guess so
To an extent yes.Would a stripper header work, my stems were as green as grass this year but the grain was fit
But there were lots of green immature grains this year alongside very ripe ones.
They'd still be in the heap.

Won't matter they will come in regardless if needed
Always grew spring oats to mid 90s for decades, never sprayed them with Glyhosphate, but allways last to combine. Sometimes October combining on top of the wolds, good coat and no cab.
Never had a problem, but they went in a ventilation bin, for own use and horsey folk only, I would have to say, I would put more N on now
On heavier land, uneven ripening is going to be a problem. I HAD planned them as a break this Autumn.
Maybe Winter Oats are more even??

I'm embarrassed to say that we cut 5ac of April sown oats very green as we left some away ground, to save a combine return movement.
After warming up, to even up the bulk, they went through the drier and came out smelling like the most beautiful tobacco ever.
Not advocating this as the way forward, but I was surprised how green they can actually be cut, and how few losses.
I didn't go back, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't another crop there on secondary tillers, by Christmas.

Our spring oats grow out of the stubble even after they’ve had Pre harvest glyphosate.. they’d never die out without pre harvest. Cut them once without and was like forage harvesting

Me too and I've never sprayed mine off either.
You mean it won't be like the UK and OSR with neonics. Banned to use here but still used abroad and imported here no problem ........
I remember cuting them with a binder, stooking them to ripen, then threshing them. Mindyou i was a kid, but i still helped to stook. and the oat straw good for feed

Will Europe millers be allowed to import desiccated Oats from the UK? We dont seem to be able to refuse imports regardless what chemicals that are illegal in the UK have been applied to them, discriminatory under WTO rules or something they say

Don’t know what we would have done this year without glyphosate on the oats. It was like 2 crops, 1 underneath ripe and another green as grass up through it!

No it looks like they will be residue testing.Will Europe millers be allowed to import desiccated Oats from the UK? We dont seem to be able to refuse imports regardless what chemicals that are illegal in the UK have been applied to them, discriminatory under WTO rules or something they say

Sounds like the way forward. I remember all that stuff, even men opening up the field with scythes.
Last year we had a heatwave beginning of September which should have been perfect for oats. Rarelg down before April and we often harvested it mid-September and the weather could be catchy then too.
Personally, I don't like the idea of spraying a crop before harvesting it if millions of people then have traces of Glyphosate in them.
