> Minnesota farmer Martin Larsen reports oats were his most profitable crop ever in 2022, helped by a drought-driven shortage and record yields. He expects 2023 returns to be lower because carryover from the 2022 crop will temper prices. Local farmers are pooling resources to market food-grade oats.

## Why it matters

A large 2022 carryover from good yields is expected to temper oat prices in 2023, which is bearish for feed-grade oats. The story reflects farm-level experience rather than a new market shock.
