Hulled Oats |
Hulless Oats |
In central Europe, oats have been used for centuries. Oatmeal came to be an important food in areas with cool, moist climates suitable for growing oats, particularly Scotland.
Today, oats are grown in practically every country in the world. Total world production has been about 2.5 billion bushels in recent years. The world's leading oats producer is the Commonwealth of Independent States, which far outpaces the United States, Canada, the European Community, Australia and Poland.
The United States now grows about 300 million bushels of oats annually, down dramatically from the 1.5 billion bushels grown as recently as 1955. That amounts to only about 13 to 16 percent of world production. U.S. oats are grown primarily in the Northcentral states because the oat plant requires plenty of moisture and relatively cool weather.
We strive to sell the highest quality open pollinated and heirloom seeds. Our chief concern is empowering you, the customer, to be able to grow your own vegetables year after year by being able to save your seed. Not growing GMO seed or hybrid vegetable seed allows you to keep the seed your plants create and know you'll get the same vegetable every time. We value your input and comments and want to create a community of concerned citizens who care about the food they eat, the ground they grow their vegetables in, and the world in which we live. To protect your pollinators and bees, please limit or eliminate your pesticides use, they will thank you for it! Thank you again for purching such high quality heirloom seeds!
