    Different kinds of oats

    What is the difference between Harrison, Coronado, Coker and Bob oats? In terms of planting a winter plot

    I normally drill feed oats since they are cheaper

      Bump because I'm interested in some educated responses on this topic as well.

        I have planted both but the seed oats have always grown better for me, I think it is worth the extra cost considering all that goes into planting them. I bought seed oats for 19.50 per bag Monday, good luck.

          We always plant Bob oats....and have pretty good luck. I believe that is what is in Buck Forage oats.

            I plant bob oats. feed oats usually don't germinate as well as seed oats. Take a small sample and put them in a folded wet paper towel. Leave them a couple of days and you can see how many sprout. I've had some where the majority did not sprout.

              I did not know this!

              I drilled feed oats last year and and I think I had a good turnout on them

                Buck forage is its own variety of oats I believe.

                  I was under this assumption as well. Just not gonna spend $35-40 a bag

                      I'm very intrigued by this statement... please, tell us more about bob oats and buck forage oats

                        I've always bought majority racehorse oats and have overall good luck with them. Sometimes I get some buck forage and mix to ensure a good plot.

                        If some of the racehorse don't come up it's usually okay because I can double the amount for less money and still get a nice plot. I did have one year several years back where racehorse didn't come up and I had to redo all my plots with buck forage.

                          I've had best luck with bob oats. Feed oats will grow, but at lower germination rate. For what it cost to plant a field correct.... spend the extra $10

                          Buck forage is its own "magic" variety. It has the word buck in the title and promoted by dr deer. I've tested side by side twice with bob oats and the deer prefer the bob hands down... at 1/5 the cost

                          The buck forage WILL handle extreme cold better. Which USUALLY isn't an issue in Texas. If it is plant wheat mixed in to cover that base

                            One thing you can do to make your oat fields better is to fertilize heavily. We apply 200lbs per acre of 30-10-10
