> The USDA raised its 2026/27 US oats production forecast to 69 million bushels, up 1% from the prior estimate, on a 4% rise in average yield to 75.3 bushels per acre. Harvested area fell 3% to about 1 million acres, with sharp declines in Texas, Minnesota, South Dakota and Kansas offset by gains in North Dakota and Idaho. Total supply was lifted by 1 million bushels to 173 million and ending stocks rose to 33 million bushels.

## Why it matters

A larger US oats crop and higher ending stocks add to domestic supply for feed users, which is mildly bearish for oat prices. The effect is modest given the small size of the revision.
