[QUOTE="novaman, post: 661834, member: 2744"] What planting rates did you use? It looks like there are a lot of peas in there compared to what I've seen in neighbors fields. I would think your forage quality would be considerably better with a higher level of peas. Do you have any issues with differing maturities between the two? I'm not familiar with winter oats or the Austrian peas, but I've been told in general that oats and peas don't reach the proper stage of maturity to get optimal yield while keeping a respectable level of quality. Either the oats is ready and the peas aren't or vice versa (can't remember which it is). Do you put it up as dry hay or do you chop and ensile it? A local dairyman usually uses barley and peas and ensiles it. Claims it makes a great feed with exceptional palatability. [/QUOTE]
