The yield off what I planted from last year's grain was right on par with certified purchased seed oats. I didn't know before hand what would happen though so I planted one of my fields with purchased seed and right next to it I planted my seed that I poured straight from the bin (into a bag) into my drill. (I plant with an old JD VB EE Drill, steel wheels and all) Didn't clean it since I don't have a seed cleaner but it still came up without any noticable problems and the yield was about the same as my certified seed.
We'll see if the yield decreases next year because I am going to replant some of my second generation seed to see what it does. I like to learn by doing.
Two weeks ago the oats all looked great, not much weeds and they were probably ripe enough to combine but I had other committments. Then the storms came, and the winds,lodged some of the crop and the rains brought the weeds up into what remained standing after the windstorms. Still, I was really happy with what I got. For me, the 101 does a great job and is just the right size for my operation. (And it's pretty neat to think that some other farmer sat on that machine 50 years ago when it was cutting edge technology and was just as amazed by it as I am today)
