Oats are a cereal crop that can provide good feed from late autumn through to early spring. Oats adapt to acid soils and are a useful tool in pasture renovation because they expand the number of chemical possibilities that can be used for weed control in the year prior to sowing a perennial pasture. Oats can be combined with a legume (such as the Target Oat & Vetch and Mega Silage blends) to increase overall quality if hay is required.
