Have grown it for a few years now, a very strong scavenger and a good performer, very good quality grain and a high yielder. Doesn't like drought and high temps, like all Oats.
@CORK will know it even better.

As a spring sown oat, it’s hard to beat over here. Yield, grain quality and straw are excellent. The end users particularly like here it due to lower levels of screenings and high spec weight and kernel content.
Where it particularly stands out and this isn’t a listed trait on the AHDB RL is its resistance to straw breakdown in the event of a delayed harvest. It will stay standing when other varieties become brittle and start to melt.
Link to the UK RL is here: https://projectblue.blob.core.windo...5/13. Spring oats recommended list (2024).pdf
Bred in Holland. It showed up in our company screening trials here where it shone out. I actually had the opportunity to name it and it was named after my youngest daughter (she’s now 8!).

Third year growing them. Not failed to make milling yet, stand and yield well, around 6t/ha average.
Don’t knock them about with pgr’s.

Grew it last year here for first time after being Canyon for years. I too noticed how well it stood after some pretty bad storms and delayed harvest

I have a few fields of this in I'm wondering would I need a pgr on it ? I've gave it 37units n plus 17s there and had plenty broiler chicken muck ploughed into seed bed, have a good heart in the ground due to being dairy and poultry farm, cheers

Probably yes, I would ask your agronomist and tell him how much muck they’ve had..

Are you cutting them yourself? What does your combine driver / contractor think about cutting flat corn? Would you prefer to pay per acre to cut a good crop, or pay by the hour to gather a poor crop?
That's my view, without seeing the crop / knowing more about the muck etc.

Cut it ourselves with combine ,flat crop ain't no fun, spread the muck ourselves too its pretty hard to work out because some is fresh and some is stored in an open silo so value of the fresh stuff will be stronger and its higher dm, I'm going to say average 5-8t per acre on seed bed ?

I agree. I think it wants something, probably 2 low rates rather than one big one.

This is what I would do. With water conditioner as required. I like the idea to split dose, but current UK weather means Im inclined to go heavy, early, and then think about later.....later.

Caveat - I am not a trained agronomist and this does not constitute advice. Merely what I would do to my crop.

So he should speak to his agro then?
