Hulless oats and their use in Canadian agriculture
Hulless oats have been available in Canada for years with varieties Liberty Laure and Brighton introduced early in the century. Torch and a newer Cyreal Breeting Lac laboratory hybrid show disease resistance.

They offer higher energy value but pose seed purity and grading challenges, suggesting separate bushel weight and seed standards may be needed in the future.
