Around here, not swathing it would be asking for trouble. Last year we got away with it because they came before the weeds really took over but it still heated in the bin pretty bad. Those small green weed seeds will really heat it up on you. Nothing that we know of that can be sprayed on oats without killing it. My dad worked for a spraying ring this spring/summer too and he learned quite a bit, but they never did anything to oats. Winter wheat is direct cut all the time here, but that does get sprayed in the spring to control the weeds. Almost any small grain except winter wheat and soybeans is swathed here. Wheat sometimes is though, if the weeds got it too soon. Another reason to swath, is we need the straw. When they come in to direct cut it, they'll only clip the heads, still get all the green seeds, plug up the combine, snap a belt, and we won't get 1/4 the amount of straw. and double cropping is almost completely unheard of, unless you take off the 1st crp hay then turn it under and put in late corn or beans. No way to do it after wheat. Donovan from Wisconsin
