Letter B on Oats Blades Marks Local Crop Folklore
In a local observation many oat blades show a letter B, sometimes faint, always with the back toward the blade base. Elders recall a W in 1835 and pre civil war locusts with W on their wings. Frost-nipped ends may create an irregular line resembling the letter R on new growth.
