Abstract

Oats are a major spring-sown, small grain crop in Iowa. It can be used for grain and straw production as a companion crop to establish hay and pasture, or for early-season forage. Because oats mature in late July to early August, these allow cropping options for the rest of the season including establishment of perennial forage or cover crops, and a timely window for manure application.
