Vicland Oats sold in Wisconsin last spring of 1942 as high 
as $2.50 to $3.00 per bushel. They were hard to find at that 
price. This variety was developed by plant breeders of the 
University of Wisconsin and the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. 
First released by the Wis. College of Agriculture in 1941 for 
seed production. Wisconsin Experiment Station says as fol- 
lows: ‘‘Vicland is a medium short stiff strawed yellow oat. 
Has a high degree of resistance to rusts and smuts. Is early 
maturing whereby it usually ripens ahead of hot dry weather. 
High weight per bushel.’’ These oats have made a favorable 
showing in other states which show they are adapted over a 
Wide range. Vicland Oat is resistant to lodging. It has been 
tested in Illinois in two years only, but made an excellent rec- 
ord. Reports from Wisconsin Experiment Station state: “‘Re- 
ports from Wisconsin growers in the fall of 1941 showed an 
average yield of 69 bushels per acre compared with 41.5 
bushels for other varieties.’’ The acreage is still limited and 
there is a golden Opportunity for you to make some money 
the next two years growing them for seed oats.
