I do my oats thru a thrashing maching at local steam/old tractor show. Thrashers chop stuff pretty good. We go in and bale resulting straw stack with square baler. Produces good to fair, sometimes pretty loose bales. One guy has a JD 24WT baler that makes excellent bales. My NH268 tends to make looser bales. Biggest problem is that some oats go into piles, and get into the bales. That attracts mice to my barn. Saw some Amish that had a wooden rack of some sort attached to the intake on their baler. Had chute from thresher directed right into intake of baler. Thrashed and baled in one process. Enterprising bunch, the Amish.
If you could take belt off chopper, drop it in the stubble, then go in with rake and bale it you might get fairly good straw with minimum grain retained. That's how we used to do it. There will be some straw loss that way however.

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
