Planting feed oats?

[slimngrizzly]

Tomorrow im going to plant about a 1/2 acre of oats. I forgot to get to the seedhouse in time so im going to the farm and fleet store to get "feed oats". My buddies informed me that these are all the same and will grow just fine. Anyone have any opinions on this? Is their really any difference between the Buck Forage oats and the $10 bag?

Thanks

I don't really notice much difference between BFO and regular oats, and I've planted both in multiple years, multiple plots. At best, BFO might be a little more cold hardy ...... but a couple of frosts and your oats are going to be done for the year anyway. I buy all my cereal grains --- oats, wheat, rye --- at the feed stores or coops these days. The deer don't seem to mind .......
