TFO 408 Spring Oats

TFO 408 Oats – High-Quality Forage Oat for Maximum Yield
TFO 408 is not your average oat — it’s a true spring forage variety bred for farmers who need both tonnage and quality in the same field. With its dense, dark green leaves and delayed heading, TFO 408 stays in the vegetative stage longer, giving you more flexibility at harvest and higher quality forage.
🌱 Leafy & Nutritious: Produces an exceptional leaf-to-stem ratio, leading to improved digestibility and protein content.
🌾 Late Heading: Stays leafy longer, so you get more feed before the plant puts energy into seed heads.
💧 Responsive to Inputs: Performs best under good fertility and irrigation, standing tall at 4–5 feet without lodging.
🐄 Forage Options: Excellent for haylage or baleage, good for grazing, and can also serve as a nurse crop for alfalfa.
🛡️ Disease Resistance: Strong tolerance to rust and other common leaf and stem diseases, protecting forage quality.
Whether you’re looking to graze cattle, chop for silage, or support a new alfalfa stand, TFO 408 delivers consistent performance and high returns when managed with good fertility and moisture.
👉 With TFO 408, you get a high-input, high-output oat that pays you back in both yield and quality.
