Naked Oats Seed are a great source of fall and winter forage for cattle, horses, goats, sheep and food plots for deer. Oats, in general, are a nutritious and palatable forage used for cattle feed stock, hay production, horses and dairy milk production.
Naked Oats (Avena nuda) are a cereal grain, first grown in central Asia around 100 B.C. Currently, they are grown worldwide because they are the most nutritionally packed cereal grain available on the market.
Oats planted for cattle forage are commonly planted with winter rye grain, winter ryegrass and rape, turnip, radish or kale. Oats planted in food plots for deer and other wildlife can be planted with winter legumes such as clover, winter peas and brassicas such as radish, rape, turnip or kale.
Naked Oats are great for hay production, and should be planted in the early fall for hay.
Naked Oats are most successful when planted on well prepared soils with a pH of 5.5 or greater.
Plant at a rate of 75 - 100 lbs. per acre, at a depth between 1/2 in. and 1 in. Plant between fall and spring and ensure that soil pH is between 5.5 and 7.0.
When planting Oats for hay plant 100 lbs. of seed per acre. Fertilizing will depend on the soil nutrients but typical applications are 350-500 lbs. per acre.
