Eagle Seeds Black Oats

Eagle Seed's Black Oat has excellent tillers and a root mass similar to cereal rye. The extra tillering provides more stalks and more leaves to feed your hungry herd. This variety stays greener longer providing your deer with more food in the early spring when food is scarce. The biomass of the Black Oat also makes it a superior weed suppressor. Eagle Black Oats have an excellent Carbon to Nitrogen ratio for more efficient mineralization, suppression of nematodes and building of soil organic matter.
