Oat Production: From Variety Selection and Seeding to Baling and Cleaning

Thursday, July 7 | 10:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Hosts: Dan & Susan Voss, Brian Voss & Nicole Hepker

Voss Farm | Facebook

Address: 1926 Sisley Grove Rd. NW | Palo, IA 52324

Dan Voss & SonJoin the Vosses on their farm outside of Atkins, Iowa, to see and hear about cover crops, working oats into an extended rotation and more. Dan, winner of the 2021 “Forward Thinking Farmer” award, was early to adopt cover crops in his corn and soybeans and has been growing small grains for the entirety of his career. With his son, Brian, he no-till farms about 600 acres of corn and soybeans, alfalfa hay and oats for feed and straw.

The Vosses will discuss cover crop practices and species they’ve used, lead guests on a tour of an oat crop and discuss management from variety selection to post-harvest. Guests will also see the Vosses’ equipment set-up for drilling oats. Attendees can stick around following the field day to see the bioreactor and saturated buffer, installed at the end of 2021. There’s plenty to learn and see during this field day!
