Grain Millers recommends the frequent scouting of oats fields for both insects and plant diseases from early in
the growing season through heading. If leaf fungal diseases are seen, the timely application of registered and
approved fungicides for non-organically grown oats is approved and recommended to enhance both yield and
grain quality potential. Contact Grain Millers for more information.
At the time of publication, it is believed that the varieties listed above, combined with good agronomic characteristics and management, should
provide the best opportunity for growers to produce food quality oats. Before purchasing or planting oat varieties not listed, please contact
Grain Millers to discuss attributes of other varieties considered.
