Question for Oat, Feed Barley growers

[agchat]

Have not grown these two bin gobblers for a few years. Just wondering what varieties are good. What i use to hate about oats, is it would lodge so bad, i am sure there must be better varieties now. Thanks

morgan oats stand good . heavy and yield decent

Agree with Caseih regarding Morgan oats.

Good for straight cutting we find.

DO NOT grow champion barley. It is awful for breaking off and falling over. Never again.

Bin gobblers lol so true, I also have had good luck with Morgan and will be trying some Summit oats next year.

One word of caution about Morgan Oats. Quaker will not be buying that variety anymore. Which is too bad. Bed. Our variety of choice for a long time.

The Chicago variety yields well most years.


Clear for departure

Thanks for the replies guys.

If Quaker isn't buying Morgan, what will be the most popular variety to replace it with?

I've heard of Triactor and a few others grown commonly but not sure how yield compared to Morgan.

[TraderJoe]

Triactor should likely not be the first choice for everyone, as it has a tendency to have lower than average test weights. Summit, Seabiscuit, Stride and Camden are 4 newer varieties that will outperform it in most areas!
