Oats, like wheat and barley, are a small grain which agricultural producers in western Washington can incorporate into their rotations to disrupt pest and disease cycles and contribute to soil quality. Oats are physiologically well adapted to the region's cool climate and high rainfall. However, oats have not been studied in western Washington during recent generations, and there is a lack of information about value-added markets for the crop, optimal production practices, and variety choice. This publication takes a first step towards rebuilding a regional knowledge-base for oats, focusing on the production of food oats for the milling industry. We introduce milling oat quality specifications and describe how the crop's performance can be managed to meet them, both in the field and after harvest. Results are presented from two years of variety trials carried out in four western Washington counties which identified several oat varieties with consistent yield and quality performance. Production data from these trials are analyzed together with regional market prices to provide an indication of the revenue potential of milling oats grown in western Washington. Comparison of revenues with those of other small grains shows that oats can be economically competitive. Oats represent an interesting opportunity for producers in western Washington both to diversify their rotations and strengthen local food systems.

Dr Samuel Johnson, that famous eighteenth century lexicographer, said of oats 'A grain which in England is generally given to horses but in Scotland supports the people'. And presumably it was a Scotsman who riposted 'But what people and what horses!' That exchange encapsulates much of the history and role of oats - a cereal, once important as human food in parts of northern Europe but latterly used mainly as animal feed, especially favoured for horses. Although no longer a major food anywhere, oats still have a special and favoured niche in the cuisine of people living in the cooler and wetter regions of some parts of northern Europe. However, there is currently a resurgence of interest in the crop, because there is now considerable scientific evidence to support the view of Scotsmen who never doubted its dietary value. This book - very much an international effort, carefully orchestrated by Robert Welch - traces the origin, history and scientific progress which forms a sound basis for any further crop improvement and for broadening the utilization and marketing of oat products. Should rational consider ations lead to an increase in the importance of this cereal, I, for one, would be glad since I believe the rural landscape is the poorer for the increased rarity of golden fields of rippling oats which I used to be involved in harvesting.

This book is a groundbreaking exploration of the multifaceted world of oats, offering a holistic journey from historical roots to cutting-edge applications. Its diverse chapters traverse the genetic and genomic landscape of oats, tracing their origin, domestication, and global spread. From their humble beginnings as animal feed to their evolution into a staple in human diets, this book showcases oats as a pivotal player in sustainable agriculture and nutrition. The chapters meticulously delve into the bioactive compounds of oats, their health benefits, and the role of oats in disease prevention and management. The book also provides insights into oat processing techniques, storage, and milling, offering a comprehensive understanding of how these processes impact nutritional properties. The international scenario of oat production takes centre stage, emphasizing the vital role of oats in sustainable agriculture and their contribution to soil health and climate-resilient farming systems. The discussion on β-glucans, avenanthramides, and other bioactive compounds underscores the potential of oats in functional foods, catering to the increasing demand for health-focused dietary choices. Closing with a visionary look into the future, this book explores the development of novel value-added, oat-based superfoods, aligning with the global shift towards nutritionally dense, minimally processed options. Readers, including agronomists, farmers, chefs, and health enthusiasts, will find a wealth of knowledge on topics ranging from oat production economics to the nutritional composition that sets oats apart from other cereals. Oat (Avena sativa): Production to Plate is a must-read for anyone seeking a comprehensive and forward-looking guide to the remarkable journey of oats, blending history, agriculture, nutrition, and sustainability into a seamless narrative.

"Oats rank next to corn and wheat in crop acreage and value in the United States. But notwithstanding this, less attention has been given to the production of oats than to any other important grain so that yields often have been unsatisfactory and the crop sometimes unprofitable. The essentials for success in oat production are -- Well-prepared land that is retentive of moisture and fairly fertile ; Good seed of suitable varieties, thoroughly cleaned and graded and treated for smut ; Early seeding with a grain drill ; The harvesting of the crop at the proper time ; Careful shocking and stacking so as to preserve the crop from injury by weathering ; Clean thrashing. Directions for making the growing of oats more generally profitable are given in the following pages."--Page 2
