Progressive Organics: Milling Oats

Spring oats and Organic farming are such a good fit. Is it the variety, is it the husbandry? It is probably a combination of both, but samples of March sown Organic spring oats with a specific weight of 55 kg/hl are commonplace. That in itself says it all.

Demand is for Organic oats grown under contract, the latter establishing an important dialogue between processor and producer. This dialogue is the key to managing the supply chain and fending off imports from Scandinavia.
