Hulless oats and their use in farming
Hulless oats have become commercially available with several Canadian varieties over time. Liberty appeared in 1914, Laurel in 1972, and Brighten in 141. Torch, from the University of Saskatchewan in 1952, shows disease resistance. The latest hulless variety, developed at Winnipeg, is recommended for seeding to surpass older types. Hulless oats offer higher energy but pose storage, dehulling, and quality challenges for mills and seed markets.
