Early spring weather conditions were excellent for oats: soil was dry enough for timely seeding on March 18. Oats emerged on April 1. At the two-leaf growth stage we had temperatures in the low 20sF causing freezing of the above-ground tissues, but the oats recovered. Temperatures remained cool throughout April. Thus, plants were short, about 2/3 of normal plant height, and panicles were smaller than normal. Temperature and soil moisture were good for oat growth until early June, just after flowering. During June and early July during grain fill, temperatures were warm and soil moisture became limiting, limiting yield and test weight somewhat. In general, a below-average season for oat production.
