Oats aren’t flashy, but they might be one of the most underrated crops in the rotation.
In this episode, Bill Frederick and James Holz sit down and talk through what it actually takes to grow oats in Iowa. From planning and planting to harvest and handling, they walk through how oats fit into their systems and why they’ve become a bigger part of the conversation.
They talk through:
- Why oats have become part of their system
- What it actually takes to get a crop worth keeping
- Where oats create opportunities—beyond just harvest
- And what you should think about before adding them to your own acres
If you’ve ever kicked around the idea of small grains, or you’re already in them, there’s something in here for you.
