Glyphosate ban on European milling oats

[DCM]

Are you selling to any of the porridge mills?
Theres alot of Irish oats in shops here

Yes, porridge oats. Used in 'own label' products and the Mills branded produce.

Quaker pushed ccc free oats twenty plus years ago with a slight premium. Two difficult harvests brought that to an end. Lots of very flat fields with the knock on of low quality.

I think they just tolerate it now until they can find a replacement/better standing varieties.

Is that "bobs red mill"? They do steel cut its better for removing cholestrol,

How long does malting barley have left till pre harvest glyphosate banned on it too?

Swathings not something I'd considered.

Try patience

Most years milling oats are far too cheap so why stress.
Let the millers worry instead.

Remember this about glyphosate being found in urine samples from certain MEPs? Linky

What was not disclosed was what other substances were found in their pee… arsenic, cadmium, not to mention certain banned substances!

Had one field do it and we’re amateurs.. head over to Ireland for big oat yields.

In Ireland here, I’ve grown a small area oats for almost 20 years and never had even considered desiccation. Sown early last year and did 4tn/ac of Isabel.

Very few growers would pre harvest spray oats over here and we don’t exactly have a nice climate for harvesting.

In my experience with barley, pre harvest glyphosate makes the straw very brittle and I’d avoid it at all costs.

As someone else said, I’d prefer to keep glyphosate in the tool box for the more important jobs than risk losing it due to residues from pre harvest use.

Cork is a few hundred miles south of us so apples & oranges. Very good yields though as I’ve heard, we’ll done

Fair point. I worked in Scotland for a couple of years and was always amazed how things only get going way up north in September.

Something to watch!

Looks like glyphosate is being banned as a desiccant for milling oats in Europe, not here at the moment but I suspect it might happen.


Is there anything left in the arsenal to desiccate uneven crops?

Hot water works fine as in 90 plus degrees.

Ant...

well that will kill oats as a break crop for many

i guess they will just get imported from outside europe now mostly

Australia will have no issues with compliance.

Hot water boom sprays will need to be developed in future.
