A Southeast US agronomist reports good oat crop growth after recovery from a pre-Christmas freeze, with some plant loss on younger plants. Aphids and rust are present, and fungicide timing is advised.
Planting guidance for Deep South oats for grain is also given.
Healthy early-season growth in the Southeast supports adequate local oat supply, though disease pressure from rust and aphids is a watch item. The impact on prices is minimal at this stage.
After 16 past neutral weather events, Oats moved a median +0.8% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -5.9% to +3.3%), and +0.0% over 20.
