Spring oats provide a break crop in the rotation and give an opportunity to ‘clean up’ the seedbed over winter.
Modify seedrates to the seedbed quality and drilling date.
Drill your Spring Oats as soon as conditions allow, into a fine, firm seedbed, drilling late February/ Early March is worth 0.5 t/ha as compared to drilling 4 weeks later.
