Oats and Barley

 

There is always contamination in oats and barley!

We breed race-horses at Newmarket and you’d be surprised what gets where! There have been horses disqualified because something illegal got into the feed!

I used to hunt and one of the pleasures was riding with knowledgeable cereal farmers, who would show you how each crop had a residue of what had been planted before! If you’re growing seed wheat, barley or oats, then you have to cut the ‘foreigners’ out by hand. It’s difficult, expensive and no-one wants to do it!
