In '08, oats in my field were harvested mid summer, timely rains, and the grain head let some grain out onto the ground, that increased population, as they will sprout a tail root and grow from my observations, + the existing oats grew back. By some time in late october, and I have photos, the oats headed out again, thinner crop, but with a decent weather opportunity, it could have been cut and baled. Not being so thick would have helped with the drying.
It may be possible, thick population, soil conditions good, they do like nitrogen, being optimistic, you could get an oat grass crop, but the results will not be predictable, could go either way. I've planted lots of oats in august for food crops, heavy population, nice green grass, but no more than a foot tall before the cold slowed them down. If conditions are right, its possible, but the yield may or may not be worth it, you certainly could graze it though.
Here is a patch I planted with a heavy population, no fertilizer, same field as mentioned above, planted 8-17, photo taken 9-17. From this point they could get at least another month of grow time, but the weather has to be ideal, sun is not so strong, cooler temps and its a cool weather crop, not much to bale here unless you can cut real close to the ground, with the rocks here, that would be foolish.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
