Chicago oat futures fell to their lowest level in more than two years, with the March contract closing at $3.09 a bushel after an eighth straight decline. Certified oat stockpiles deliverable against futures have more than doubled year over year, and prices are down as much as 41% from March's record.
Ample deliverable stocks and weak feed-quality supplies pressure oat prices lower, which lowers feed costs for livestock buyers but signals weak demand for lower-grade oats.
