Field pea + hullless oat for forage



There is interest by North Dakota farmers/ranchers in growing field 
pea ('Trapper') and hullless oat as a high protein forage.  NDSU 
released 'Paul' hullless (naked) oat in 1994, which is the variety 
of interest.  Grain yield is less than conventional oat varieties but 
protein content is several percentage points higher (3-4%).  ND 
research work on this subject has been limited.  Has there been work 
done in other midwest states using field pea and naked oat for 
forage?  In particular, I'm interested in seeding rates, harvest stage 
and method, and nutrient content of the forage mix.  Thanks.
