County grain dealers report adequate seed oats for spring planting in late February and March, with Clinton Cherokee and Nemaha oats available at about 1.50 a bushel. Farmers test oats for germination sparingly, seed oats from Northern states common, and farm supplies may be short despite adequate seed stores.

Six notes oats yield 20 bushels per acre on average and highlights the crop’s ease of following other crops and short season harvest. Planting begins late February into March with harvest by late June or early July, dependent on the wheat outlook and weather for the next weeks.
