Seed Oats Show No Advantage In Higher Seeding Rates
Tests by the Town Agricultural Experiment Station in 1942 and 1948 found no clear benefit to seeding more than two and a half bushels of oats per acre. Seed price and demand are high this year, so results should guide spring planting. Trials on Clarion and Webster soils showed best yields at 2 to 2.5 bushels per acre in 1942 and 3 bushels in 1943, with no strong link between seeding rate and height, stand, or lodging. Bushel weight rose with higher rates in 1943 despite a poorer growing season.
