Oats
At ProGene our research staff is always looking for unique qualities or advantages that set our varieties apart from the crowd. Our purpose is to develop varieties that fit particular production systems and particular forage use needs with key qualities and adaptability. This has resulted in two oat programs that are reviewed below. Look through these unique programs to find the set of characteristics that best fits your needs.
EverLeaf Oat Program
Everleaf Oats are class of oats with high value matched with tonnage. The unique growth habit of the Everleaf varieties with delayed heading and dark broad leaves put them into a class of their own. This group of oats are high output for both tonnage and quality when fertility and moisture inputs are properly maintained. In addition to our three released varieties, we have several varieties in the advanced testing stage with improved disease or lodging resistance as well as varieties with different maturities that retain the premium qualities of the Everleaf brand.
EverLeaf Falcon Falcon oats produce higher protein while maintaining the quality of 126. Compared to 126, Falcon provides a shorter maturity timing and excellent lodging resistance due to the height reduction.
EverLeaf Tiger
EverLeaf 126 is a superior high-quality oat with tonnage that has shown excellent adaptability throughout the northern tier of states, Ontario, Canada and even into the central and southern plains of the Midwest. It is mostly used as a milk/soft dough harvested hay oat or silage oat but is also used some for grazing and boot stage silage.

ProLeaf Oat Program
ProLeaf oat class is the ProGene take on traditional class of oats with our varieties excelling in areas such as superior forage yield and manageability. While not as many varieties are available compared to our EverLeaf class ProLeaf is still an excellent candidate in the oat category.
ProLeaf 234 Our ProLeaf is a traditional type oat with superior forage yield and manageability. Its most competitive uses are in dry land forage production and fall planted forage production in the Southwest.
