I am sure that one of these days I am going to run across a old AC all cropp 66 that I wont be able to pass up. Just a matter of time thats all.
Then I am sure I will have to plant a few acres of oats just to have some thing to combine up.
I am sure I could sell some of it to the same people that are buying Horse hay from me now.
Most are already feeding oats they buy it in 50 # bags for 6 bucks a bag. I am sure I could beat that price.
Where would you get the bags and the sewing thing a me bob ? Not looking for any thing high volume just a way to do it cheap.

been there done that,alot a work for very little profit If it is for horse feed I just bag it and sell it as is. Thats where you learn to set combine right and you keep your field free of weeds you can get really nice clean oats. The return customers bring there own sacks and just fill them. Been doing it for years with oats,and rye. You will also need scales that are legal for sale across in most cases. good luck I still have about 300 bus oats left if you need some. I can ship in ton bulk bags.

I do some of this right now. I go to the local feed store and buy used bags for $.60. They have new for $1 but used are in very good condition. I tie the bags. I have thought about selling cleaned oats for seed. There is a local outfit that will clean, bag and sew the bags for around $.80 per bushel. They can add seed treatment too if it is going to be used for seed. Combining is very dirty and hot, but i think it is a lot of fun.

The company below is a reputable company that makes and/or sells bags of all kinds. I would consult with them as to the best options.
They were formerly Hutchinson Bag Corporation.

I can't help you on bags, other than we reuse bags from sweet peas,feed, etc that came in the wooven plastic or even a few burlap. We just cut peices of string, and I forget how my dad ties them, but they hold real good and come off just by grabbing an end and going around the bag. gotta learn the right way to bunch it up also. I'd imagine if it's for horses, you might want to try and come across an old fashioned cleaner. We have an old wood one, driven by an electric motor. Has changable screens to clean all different sizes of grains, and it works really good. Clear as mud?

You bunch up the bag and give it a twist to make it easier to tie. Take about three loose wraps of the string around the top of the bag. Coil the end of the string around all three wraps and pull tight.

My Grandpa had one of those in the grainery.
I think he used it to clean some oats for seed.

Thats what we use it for also. but I'd imagine that since horse owners are picky about their hay, they might be a little picky about their oats as well, and if it's clean, it would asure a later sale as well.
