Ogle Oats – ASK / bu

Excellent yield, medium maturity and stiff straw
Widely adaptable, shows excellent yield and exhibits excellent resistance to the barley yellow dwarf virus
Susceptible to most current races of rust and loose smut

Jerry Oats – ASK / bu

Certified Triactor – $11.75 / bu

Certified Souris Oats – $9.95 / bu

Certified Rockford Oats - SOLD OUT / bu

Spring Triticale – SOLD OUT / 50#

A close relative of wheat that results from pollinating Duram Wheat with rye pollen
The resulting grain is then used in a breeding program to produce stable self-replicating triticale
The basic objective in creating this cross is to capture the best traits of rye and wheat
Triticale can be grown to produce grain or silage
Grazing and cover crop options can also be good choices
Potential exists to increase yields in other crops when added to rotation
Look for reduced costs and risk management of weather too!
Seed at 60-80 lbs/acre

Buckwheat – ASK / 50#

Widely regarded as the best crop for green manure
Deteriorating and depleted soils benefit most from this plow down where 2-3 tons of dry matter will benefit most
Expect to plow down in as little as 6 to 8 weeks
Buckwheat seed and production costs are low so if local markets indicate demand, some respectable cash cropping could be expected
Seed 1″ deep at 55 lbs/acre

Seed Barley - ASK / 48#

Certified Jerry Winter Wheat – ASK / 60#

Winter Rye – ASK / 56#

Can be grazed late into fall, controls weeds and offers excellent bio-mass tonnage if plowed down
Plant late and expect germination
This seed will germinate down to 35 degrees F
Crop can also be produced on low pH, low fertility and light, sandy soils
Follow winter rye with soybeans for strong performance

PM I (60% Forage Peas/40% Oats)
ASK / 50#

Drill approximately 3/4″ deep and seed at 120-150 lbs/acre (less if underseeding legumes).
Plan on harvesting 50-60 days after planting.
Harvesting when small grain is at the boot stage will provide the best quality. Waiting until milk stage will improve tonnage but decrease quality.
Seed as soon as fields are ready to be worked
Tests of 20% protein can be had if harvested at the right time

PM II (60% Forage Peas/40% Barely)
ASK / 50#

Drill approximately 3/4″ deep and seed at 120-150 lbs/acre (less if underseeding legumes).
Plan on harvesting 50-60 days after planting.
Harvesting when small grain is at the boot stage will provide the best quality. Waiting until milk stage will improve tonnage but decrease quality.
Seed as soon as fields are ready to be worked

PM III (60% Forage Peas/40% Triticale)
SOLD OUT / 50#

Drill approximately 3/4″ deep and seed at 120-150 lbs/acre (less if underseeding legumes).
Plan on harvesting 50-60 days after planting.
Harvesting when small grain is at the boot stage will provide the best quality. Waiting until milk stage will improve tonnage but decrease quality.
Seed as soon as fields are ready to be worked
Protein will range from 15-20%

4010 Peas & Oats (50% each) – SOLD OUT / 50#

Drill approximately 3/4″ deep and seed at 120-150 lbs/acre (less if underseeding legumes).

A great mix to under seed with alfalfa
This mix is made with the most disease resistant oats and 4010 field peas
The tonnage yields and protein are much larger than small grain alternatives

4010 Peas & Barley (50% each) – SOLD OUT / 50#

Drill approximately 3/4″ deep and seed at 120-150 lbs/acre (less if underseeding legumes).
Plan on harvesting 50-60 days after planting.
Harvesting when small grain is at the boot stage will provide the best quality. Waiting until milk stage will improve tonnage but decrease quality.
Seed as soon as fields are ready to be worked
This mix can utilize 60 lbs N, 30 lbs P and 60 lbs K
Protein can range for 15-19%

4010 Peas & Triticale (50% each) – SOLD OUT / 50#

Drill approximately 3/4″ deep and seed at 120-150 lbs/acre (less if underseeding legumes).
Plan on harvesting 50-60 days after planting.
Harvesting when small grain is at the boot stage will provide the best quality. Waiting until milk stage will improve tonnage but decrease quality.
Seed as soon as fields are ready to be worked
Triticale is similar to oats, but with more leafy density, thicker leaves and higher protein
Needs 60 lbs N, 30 lbs P and 60 lbs K
Mix can yield 2-4 tons dry matter per acre

4010 Forage Peas – SOLD OUT / 50#

These field peas are great for silage, baleage or grain and an excellent source of protein
Small grains in the mixture helps the peas stand making it easier to harvest
The 4010 variety of Canadian pea was developed for higher forage yields and its standibility
These peas are grown in a mixture with oats, barley or triticale and can yield tons of silage
Can also be followed with a sorghum-sudan millet double-crop, 50 lbs of peas and 2-1/2 bu. of oats can be seeded with clover or alfalfa
The stand reduces weed competition and allows for one or two alfalfa cuttings following harvest
4010 is a speckled pea that is not meant to be harvested for grain
Seed at 50-75 lbs/acre blended with small grain. Small grains would be seeded at 50-75 lbs/acre

Canadian Forage Peas – ASK / 50#

This forage type yellow pea is specifically sourced to be blended with a small grain
This leafy type pea has many of the same characteristics as the 4010 forage pea
Yields are also similar to the 4010 forage peas
Seed at 60-90 lbs/acre blended with small grain
Small grains would need to be seeded at 40-60 lbs/acre
