SAUL
SAUL is an interesting newcomer to the sector of ‘Naked Oats’. The grain of naked oats threshes free from the husk. Although naked oat varieties produce less yield than the conventional husked types, the naked grain has considerable nutritional benefits. They produce highrer oil and nutrient content. To avoid quality loss (eg: Rancidity), naked oats must be dried immediately after harvest to at least 14% moisture content. For longer term storage a moisture level of 12% is required.
SAUL Naked Oats can be sown from late autumn through to the very end of spring. In the Czech Republic where they were bred, they have been sown as late as the 3rd week of May and were at full height and panicle early July. They are extremely competitive and have a growth habit that would suit organic farming. Naked Oats are highly sought after by the pig, poultry and horse feed industry.
C2 Seed will be available for Spring 2012, but orders must be placed early to avoid disappointment as supply is limited.
