Iowa Farm Bureau reports that Iowa harvested about 40,000 acres of oats in 2022, producing 3.2 million bushels at 80 bushels per acre. Iowa's oat acreage has declined from over 4 million acres in 1960 to around 40,000 acres now.
Shrinking Iowa oat acreage is a small part of the national picture and has limited direct price impact.
After 35 past neutral report events, Oats moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.9% to +2.5%), and -1.2% over 20.
