Everleaf 126
Everleaf 126 are a true forage oat, best known for their delayed heading and dense leaf canopy. The delayed heading allows for a wider harvest window, and the wide leaf blades provide more digestible nutrients and higher crude protein. These oats respond well to moisture, so try to keep them under irrigation or in higher rainfall areas. We recommend chopping or baleage for harvest.
