"Pennnlan is a medium to early winter oat developed by Pennsylvania AES and USDA, suited to south-central and southeastern Pennsylvania. About a week earlier than Norline, the two varieties are considered equal in yield, lodging resistance, and winter survival. In height, Pennlan is about 3 inches the shorter of the two and tends to droop at maturity."
