Reins

Maturity: Early
Lodging: Low
Height: Short

Reins is an early oat with excellent yield and test weight. Reins stays shorter which helps it resist lodging, but also produces less straw than taller varieties. Reins is a preferred variety for oat mills.

Rushmore

Maturity: Mid
Lodging: Low-Medium
Height: Medium-Tall

Rushmore is a mid-season oat with excellent yields and test weights. Rushmore performs well on all types of soils, and is our top pick for growers with sandy fields where oats can typically struggle. Rushmore is a preferred variety for oat mills.

OGLE Released in 1981

Can produce great yields
in the absence of leaf rust

Maturity: Mid Season
Lodging: Medium-High
Height: Medium

Ogle is a very well known variety that has been around for decades. It’s a mid-season oat that shows good yields as long as it avoids leaf rust which it is susceptible to. Though newer genetics from varieties such as Esker have surpassed Ogle in yielding ability and disease tolerance, Ogle is still overall a good variety.

Mixes & Forage

HAYDEN OATS AND PEAS MIX

This is an all new mix that we’re excited to offer to customers. This mix takes our Hayden oats and pairs it with a 4010 forage pea that produces excellent forage yield and quality. This mix uses later maturing Hayden oats, which allows the growers to harvest when the oats are at mid to late boot stage – which gives the best feed quality oats can give you while also taking the peas off when they’re budding, giving them the highest protein levels you can get.

BARLEY AND PEAS MIX

This mix gives growers a high tonnage, high protein forage product.

TRITICALE AND PEAS MIX

This mix can generate slightly higher protein levels than pea and oat mixes due to the thicker leaves that triticale produces.

PEAS

4010 peas work well in mixtures with small grains to make a highly palatable forage.

TRITICALE

A versatile small grain that works well for grazing, silage, or baling. Triticale is a favorite for mixing with peas.

A very popular and versatile choice for cover crop, forage, or grain production. Rye is very cold tolerant and can be seeded late in fall.

OATS

Oats establish quickly and provide great soil coverage. They will winter kill naturally without the use of a herbicide.
