Synopsis Mixtures of 50 to 65 pounds of peas and 35 to 50 pounds of oats per acre produced both highest yields and highest percent dry matter and protein in Alaska experiments. Late milk to early dough stage appeared best for harvest. At later stages, higher dry matter content offset protein gains in silage use.
