An ARS article notes that barley and oats rank fourth and sixth among the world's top grains. US barley output reached 4.05 million metric tons in 2023-24, up 7%, while US oat yields fell 24% year over year.
ARS researchers are using genetics and breeding to address drought and disease toxins in these grains.
The article is a research feature describing past crop data and long-term breeding work, with no near-term supply shock, so its price impact is minimal.
Not enough comparable past events yet for a historical read.
