[QUOTE="DieselRob, post: 6968733, member: 1188"] I'm looking for a bit of education on growing oats, other than a few wild oats about the farm I've not had anything to do with them. Winters or spring? If springs then they would go in behind a grazed catch crop, if winters would there be enough time to establish a meaningful cover crop pre drilling? When do you drill winters? Currently don't start drilling barley or wheat till the last week of Sept at the earliest. Although currently ploughing/min till establishment this is very likely to become direct drilling in the next couple of years Yield potential? On medium land capable of wheat dog 10t+/ha in a "normal" year what could they likely do? Do they cope well on drought prone or very heavy land? Weed control? Mainly under control here with a half boom width pre drilling or in wheat crop (Broadway etc) around field edges to keep brome/rye creeping in from field margins. A conversation with an advisor I use today suggested contracts are available at £10 under Nov wheat futures, this sounds a lot better than sitting in a Traders breakfast meeting many years ago basically suggesting there was hardly a market for them. Any thoughts and advice much appreciated [/QUOTE]
