What are uncleaned oats going for in your area?

When the pipeline is built, the trains will haul more grain.

Darn, Not heard of any rumours of ice water being served down in that really hot place so I guess I am stuck with oats at $5+ bushel and whole barley at $20 for a 50lb bag. Glad were not doing pigs this year.

I have wood oats growing here. I don't know much about them. Can any one fill me in?

Barley here is about 2.50 for 48 lbs. !!!

The oat seeds are smaller than agriculturally cultivated oats (Avena sativa) but it is edible, nutritional and good tasting to eat. The straw from wood oats is good as a relaxing herb for tea, it's good for decreasing cholestral plaque in the arteries when drank as a tea. Both the oats and the straw can be fed to livestock as an additional supplement to their regular diet.

The latin name is chasmanthium latifolium if you want to do some further research about growing conditions and how to cultivate it. It's most commonly used as an ornamental plant in gardens and poolside landscaping. The inland chasmanthium latifolium is called wood oats and the seaside plant is called sea oats but they are both basically the same species. Wood oats grows well in your location and throughout most of the southern states.

Wow may almost worth going up there. Just like the meonite family here. They go to Minnesota 3 times a year to buy apples,grapes, and cherries?. Anyway they drive all that way with a large flatbed trailer on the back of their truck and sell the stuff for way cheep to Amish family’s and other locals. Apparently they are making enough and then some. Hmmm...maybe I should have them pick up some feed.
