Magnum oats are very tall and prolific forage, producing a high volume of plant material of very high quality hay and/or greenchop for all livestock. Forage and hay are very sweet and even with the larger straw, cattle and horses will readily clean up the feed trough. Magnum oats are small seeded, with good seedling vigor and great tillering. This variety has rapid elongation with broad leaves growing upright to produce a large almost bushy plant. If left un-grazed and with good growing conditions Magnum oats can reach five feet at head emergence and will exceed six feet after full heading. Best if planted in the spring because fall planting can result in freeze out problems.
