My experience with oats has been limited to " spring oats" planted in the fall as a nurse crop that did not winter over. - I' ve never tried BF oats - they do sound like they fill a niche.

Your best bet would be to try a side/by side comparison of the two - in the long run the results would pay for the experiment - (and we' d all benefit as well )

Pat - what time of year do you plant turnips - and the next spring - do you re-plant the field - or let them grow?? I' d be interested in that.
