The straw, or leafy stalk, of this ancient grain is an important agricultural crop that serves as green fertilizer, fodder for grazing animals, and bedding for horses and cattle. At one time, oatstraw was a popular stuffing for mattresses and chairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso known as wild oats, oatstraw is very nutritious.
