We grow, on average, about 10 acres of oats every year along with Alfalfa. We clean some seed and sell it for seed if we can, and we plant our own for a few years before getting certified seed again. I think for oats that we cleaned ourselves we sold for somewhere around $3.50/ bu., and last year I delivered 80bu. to the southern end of the state, past Milwaukee for a nominal fee. We've also loaded it onto trucks that one guy ran and sent it past Madison. We sell some of the straw in smaller bales for decoratioin for $3.50-$4/bale. All in all, it covers the costs pretty decent. 2 years ago we planted about 12 acres of oats and I think we got close to 95-100 bu/acre. We sow it heavy and ussually have good luck. We grow taller varieties too, ussually almost chest high in a good feild. I'll have to take a picture of our oats this year... Also, if you'd be interested in buying some year-off oats we'd be more than happy to talk. Not sure what dad will charge this year, but we clean it all with an old Clipper Cleaner if requested. Otherwise ya get what ya get, weeds and all. Donovan from Wisconsin
