To evaluate oats in the system.
• Newer milling varieties Bannister and Williams provide a unique fit in the system, having hay yields similar to those of conventional hay varieties, while providing high yielding milling quality grain.
• Hay quality was measured at Frances, and although there was no significant difference in hay production (t/ha) between varieties, there was a significant difference in hay quality.
• NVT site mean yields were well below average, and so long-term predicted yields along with disease profiles should be utilised when making varietal decisions.
