Anyone here have or know where to find hulless oats and barley seed? I really like both of them and have tried to grow them before and want to give it another try. Links to any sources would be greatly appreciated.

I garden in the mid-Ohio River valley and have an assortment of genetically diverse seeds, tomatoes, beans, corn, radish and so on that either are already, or on their way to being nicely adapted to this climate. Peek at a map and put your finger on Cincinnati OH. Look east of there, across Pennsylvania, north to about even with Indianapolis, west across Illinois and down the Appalachians to North Carolina. Don't include western KY or TN.

If you are in the covered area and happen to have hulless oats or barley that you have grown yourself for some years and can tell me how to grow them, I can fix you up with things mentioned above and other stuff too.

Fedco would be one source out of Maine.

Just double-check with them on the PVP label for the 'Streaker' hulless oats.....I think that variety would be fine for growing for your own use, but the PVP label may come with restrictions on selling seed yourself of this variety.  Good luck!

This is the variety that I have grown with good results. They even like the sandy soil I have, as long as they get enough water.
