Spring Naked Oats
Growing markets in birdseed, pet food and animal nutrition allow us to offer generous contracts with significantly higher premiums vs conventional spring oat crops. The nutrient-dense grains provided by naked oats deliver high energy, and this has been met with increasing demand.
Spring Naked Oats can help with black grass management, as they provide a long stale seedbed, and they make a very good break-crop, as they are easy to grow and share most of their agronomic practices with husked oats. A good quantity and quality of straw is produced, with a high value attached.
They typically yield around 15 – 20% lower than conventional husked oats, at 4 -5t/ha, but due to the premium market we can offer a significantly higher value contract at almost double that of husked oats.
Increasingly used in the health food industry, they are high in fibre, nutritious and gluten free.
