Looks like a good crop of oats. When is your planting and harvest window on Oats??? Here you want them seeded as early as possible mid to late March if possible and then harvest is around the first week of August.
 
Lyle a farmer I know in Saskatchewan told me he puts his oats in after everything else is planted. And the oats are harvested in late September. Sometimes they lay in a swath under the snow all winter and are harvested in the spring. It's totally different from the way we do it here in Iowa. We want them planted as soon as possible, hopefully in March but usually in early April so they will head out before the hot part of summer comes along. Usually we harvest in mid to late July. If they lay in the swath beyond a month they are usually lost or very gray colored. I was in Saskatchewan in March one time when a lot of oats was still in the swath under the snow. I stuck my hand through the snow and into a swath and pulled out a few heads and the oats inside were still bright yellow. That would NEVER happen in Iowa. We can't raise 50 pound oats like you Canadians. Seems like 35 pounds is all I could get out of mine. Jim
