The International Oat Conference

The International Oat Conference born in 1982 after several years having many international colleagues attending the American Oat Worker’s Conference. Then it was decided to hold a meeting with a more international focus. Interest was high, and the International Oat Conference is now held every four years, staggered with the AOWC meetings. More information about each meeting, along with the proceedings (if available), can be found in the Oat Newsletter

The Oat Newsletter

The first issue of the Oat Newsletter was published in 1950 by the National Oat Conference. Its purpose was to supplement the Uniform Nursery reports by providing short research updates, meeting information, community information, and reports from oat research stations concerning yields, disease outbreaks, etc. This expanded over the years, with increasing numbers and types of contributions, many coming from outside the Americas.

The current version of The Oat Newsletter, which has been expanded to include other types of information of interest to the community, is sponsored by the American Oat Workers and is hosted by the GrainGenes (USDA-ARS) database team.
