PLANTING INFORMATION

Recommended Seeding Rate (Wisconsin)

Drilled Planting (ideal method)

90–110 lbs per acre
Wisconsin soils, especially in central and northern regions, benefit from slightly higher seeding rates for consistent stand establishment and early weed suppression.

Broadcast + Light Incorporation

110–130 lbs per acre
Increase seeding rate 15–20% to compensate for less uniform seed placement.

Oats with Alfalfa (companion crop)

70–90 lbs per acre
Keep oats light so they protect the emerging alfalfa without shading it out.

Cover Crop Use

70–90 lbs per acre
A bit higher than southern states due to cooler soils and shorter seasons.

Ideal Planting Dates for Wisconsin

Southern WI

March 10 – April 15

Central WI

March 25 – April 10

Northern WI

March 20 – April 5

Planting early is especially important for Antigo Oats to optimize test weight, avoid heat stress, and achieve maximum tillering.

Seeding Depth

1–1.5 inches deep
Avoid planting deeper than 2 inches in Wisconsin’s cool spring soils.

Management Tips for Best Performance

Use Certified Antigo Seed for reliable uniformity, test weight, and disease resistance.

Consider 30–40 lbs N per acre at planting for strong early growth.

Roll after seeding on loose seedbeds to improve seed-soil contact.

Avoid planting into cold, saturated soil—wait for soil temps near 40°F and rising.
