I'm planning to plant 3 oat plots mixed with other seed this year. I will be broadcasting and cultipacking into a prepared seedbed.
The oat variety I am using is cosaque black winter oats-
I'm seeing a very wide range of recommendations for the oat seeding rates so looking for some input on what folks have done and seen work. I'm seeing as low as 40/ac and as high as 100/ac
I'm going to have one plot each of
Oats/Turnips/Sugar beats- into a fully cultivated seedbed
Oats and Chickory- into a lightly tilled seedbed with a sparse stand of 2nd year white clover
Oats and Durana into a lightly tilled seedbed with a sparse stand of 2nd year white clover.
I've typically done well with High rates but wanted to see what others are experiencing- and given the light cultivation in 2 of the plots, thinking I need to go heavy.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
