Norm compared three varieties of oats under similar management strategies to see which variety worked best for his farm operation in eastern Ontario.

In a Nutshell

• Orford yielded the highest among the three varieties in the trial.
• Bullet had the highest test weight among the three varieties, although its yield was the most variable.
• The addition of N in a side-by- side unreplicated trial showed a promising return on investment among all three varieties but more work and replication is needed to verify and reinforce these findings.
