Annual grass. Up to 4'. Most oats have a clinging hull that requires industrial-grade milling to render them suitable for human consumption. Hulless, on the other hand, can be processed at home without any special equipment. Hulless oats are not, in fact, hulless, but as in wheat the hull sheds easily during the normal threshing process; for best results, delay harvest until the crop is fully mature. In a 10-variety oat trial, the University of Minnesota determined Streaker to be exceptionally high in protein and oil content. May be used as a cover crop like other oats, but hulless varieties tend to be somewhat less vigorous than common oats. Streaker has tall plants with medium straw strength; resistant to crown rust. Streaker is so delicious and satisfying, you may want to celebrate with a run through the streets!
Plant in early spring at 100#/acre, 3#/1000 sq ft. PVP
As food grain: For cooking, soak in water: what little hull remains will float and may be swept away.
As feed grain: The lack of hull lowers the crude fiber levels and improves digestibility compared to common oats. Higher in protein than other small grains, but not higher in lysine.
