One of the biggest problems they see in today’s varieties is lack of test weight. “For years there has been a large emphasis on creating varieties with a high yield, but not really on test weight. Without test weight, you don’t have a valuable oat,” Scott states.

They include store-only brands and big national brands such as Planter’s. They also include spreads, packaged kernels, salad toppings, snack bars and mixes of products containing sunflower seeds.

There are really no harvesting guidelines in dealing with frost damaged cereal crops. It is recommended to wait for a few days to determine level of damage caused by the frost before making any decisions. If the plants are killed by the frost, leaving it standing versus swathing won’t have an impact on yield or quality. However, it may become more of a harvesting efficiency issue. Damaged cereal crops can become more susceptible to lodging and shattering, which may necessitate careful monitoring of the crop if planning to straight cut or deciding to swath (which may help to reduce shattering losses). However, kernel moisture content will still need to be considered – harvest when moisture contents are at levels to safely store or plan on drying/aerating the crop. Keep in mind that weather conditions afterwards will influence the quality obtained as wet weather could cause downgrading from mildew and heating damage.

Arvada & Lakewood While most kids erect lemonade stands in their front yards, Kelly Conley’s and Ginny Kooyman’s children are more likely to be found selling scones and other treats that their mothers bake each week for their four-month-old CFA bakery, Counter Currant. Arvada-based Conley and Kooyman, a Lakewood resident, first crossed paths five years ago at a home-school meetup, where they bonded over their shared love of all things DIY—including baking. “Now we just bake a lot more,” Kooyman says. “[Counter Currant] gives both of us the flexibility to work on a level that works for us.” Their selections—apple pies, pear tarts, sticky fig cake, chocolate shortbread—change weekly, often star local produce, and there are always gluten-free options available. The mamas’ can-do venture is even inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs: Kooyman’s 13- and 11-year-olds and Conley’s 12-year-old are teaming up to launch a CFA-certified granola line this month.How To Buy: Weekly menus can be found via @counter.currant’s Instagram account; prices range from $6 for two croissants to $27 for a 10-inch pie.

“Essentially, oats are a nutritious grain for feeding livestock or for food, but the husk or hull is largely inedible fiber. To hit most good end-use markets, the hull needs to be removed,” Scott says.

Sunflower Seeds. Black-oil sunflowers seeds are the best single food for wild birds. These small, thin-shelled seeds are easy to open, rich in fat and protein, and inexpensive. Virtually every bird that visits a backyard bird feeder eats black-oil seeds. Striped sunflower seeds are larger and have thicker shells than oil seeds. They are favorites of cardinals, jays, and woodpeckers, and can be cast on the ground or presented in tube or hopper style feeders.

Peel, halve and finely slice the onion. Peel and finely chop or crush 1 large or 2 small garlic cloves. Pick the leaves off enough thyme sprigs so you have 1 good tablespoon worth.
