# Oat prices, acres to rise in 2022, analyst says - AgCanada

> An independent analyst told Saskatchewan oat growers he expects oat acreage to rise in 2022 after oats were the best-performing commodity in 2021, with prices up about 89% from January 2021 to January 2022. He said acres would likely come at the expense of malt barley and hard red spring wheat, though a summer rebound needs more precipitation.
