Current oat price

On that topic, what is a realistic yield for oats nowadays. High inputs, and without them going flat down. I hear some numbers that almost make them look profitable, and maybe even worth the itch, but I've never seen a high yielding oat crop that wasn't flat around here.

You don't wanna grow oats, no money in them.

Don’t grow oats. They itch and retailers don’t sell as much inputs on them. Stick with wheat and canola cause peoples families need to be taken care of. Lol

I think there are a lot of acres out there but it’ll be a wonder they’ll make forage let alone grain. Tried mine Saturday before the rain but 20% standing and mine are probably the ripest in the area cause they went in after the wheat. So many out standing and green enough to warrant probably taking a chance swathing and hope for a week of decent drying.

I think Oat price will be determined by Mother Nature. There is almost always enough good weather every fall for harvesting and Oats will be the first to get combined after it drys some. With this Global Cooling we are experiencing and if harvest is delayed even later, then who knows? Add in the fact that the corn and soybean crops are also feeling the effects of Global Cooling. What might the odds be for that crop to make projected yields?
