Oats

AGF stocks a wide range of forage, grazing, and grain oats that will suit farms all across the country. Whether you are a hay or silage operation in Queensland or grain grower in Victoria talk to us about the different options available and how best to implement them on your farm.

Forester

Very Slow

Grazing and Hay

North and South

A dual purpose oat, late maturing oat suited for grazing and export quality hay production. For graziers is offers excellent early growth and quick recovery from grazing and late maturity. Suited to Northern and Southern Australian environments. Features of Forester include high forage yields, good regrowth capabilities, excellent export quality hay and proven disease resistance.

Marleigh

Slow

Grazing Oat

Winter Feed

Marleigh is an exciting, mid-late maturity, improved grazing oat, with outstanding early vigour, fast biomass production and recovery post grazing. Marleigh comes out of South Amercian breeding program and is our best oat for winter grazing.

Goldie

Mid

Grain

High Yielding

A high yielding milling oat suitable to all oat growing regions of Australia. A strong grain quality package, including reduced screenings and high test weight.

Similar disease resistance to Bannister with good CCN resistance (MR). 

Preliminary hay yield and quality data looks promising.

EPR $3.50

Sabre

Slow

Grazing and Hay

Establishes in Warmer Soils

Sabre was chosen due to its very good initial
growth and total dry matter yield combined
with full rust resistance to all current leaf rust
pathotypes.

Sabre is suitable for all classes of livestock,
hay or silage production. For best results in a
continuous grazing system, it should not be
grazed below the growing point located just
above the highest node.

Koala

Quick

Grain

High Quality

A mid maturing, tall dwarf milling variety. Similar to BannisterA, with improved rust resistance and higher grain yield in Victoria. Tested as 09143-35. Bred by SARDI National Oat Breeding Program and marketed by Seednet with seed production in 2023. 

May be attractive to feed end users due to potentially higher digestibility.

EPR $2.50.

Saia

Quick

Low PH Soils

Grazing Oat

Saia Oats are a tall black seeded grazing oat with a fine stem and smaller seed than most other varieties. It is fast to establish and will provide good quality quick feed for grazing, hay and silage. Saia grows in a wide range of soil types and has good tolerance of acid soil. Saia rebounds quickly after grazing. Commonly used in cover crop situations Saia Oats can help control Root Lesion Nematode and Stubby Root Nematodes which can cause dramatic damage in potato and vegetable crops. Highly tolerant to aluminium and manganese toxicity. Can be Spring or Autumn planted, Minimum rainfall 350 mls.

Mulgara

Quick

Grazing or Hay

Mulgara is a mid-season tall oat which is suited to hay production. It has exceptional hay yield which can make export quality.
