NNW Nebraska | Have some irrigated ground that is short on water. Gpm wise, not total fir the year.
Part of the ground is now in Oats & peas.
When oats/peas is harvested, plan is to let ground set untill first of August, then plant Oats & turnips, possibly peas & ?.
Question is in variety of oats. Recently was told that jerry oats will not freeze down as quick as some varietys.
3 years ago, planted some cover crop mix that included oats. No idea of variety. Those froze down by time I really needed grazing.
Later planted some oats after getting some rye combined & straw baled. Rye was late. Was afraid to spend much on a crop that late & was a rented field that I wouldn't have following year. Got some oats out of neighbors bin & planted thick. Those did not freeze down & continued to stay green & grow some up untill dec 1st when we moved cows just before a major snow storm. At the time I was thinking difference was later planting date.
Neighbour told me he thought the oats I got from him was jerry oats.
So is Jerry oats what I want for late summer planting?
