Our forage oats are coming on strong!💪 But seeding was the easy part… the trick to putting up quality oat hay is a properly timed harvest.
Too early 🟰 High protein but lower yields
Too late 🟰 High yields but low quality
Just right 🟰 A hand full of days in July! ⤵️
Early milk is when the kernels produce a white liquid when squeezed. This stage balances yield with protein and palatability to produce an excellent forage with an oat kernel candy topping! 🌾 Our animals loved it, and yours will too.
We are now booking mixed grass, Orchardgrass and forage oat hay for 2026! Contact us ASAP.
