Cody oats good for dry and irrigated Idaho lands says agent
County agent Daniel Roberts cites a USDA report by Harland Stevens showing Cody oats yield well on dryland and irrigated soils in southern and southeastern Idaho. Tests indicate strong resistance to smut and stem rust. Cody’s short straw reduces lodging but its straw quality trails Overland. Yields vary by location, with top performance under irrigation at Aberdeen and Ashton, while Cody is not advised to replace Overland on heavy fertile soils.
