# Canada to plant as much as 13% more oats | Bakingbusiness.com | March 13, 2017 19:40 | Baking Business

> Canadian analysts Randy Strychar and Shawna Mathieson forecast oat plantings would rise 12% to 13% in 2017, mostly at the expense of spring wheat. Their estimates were well above Statistics Canada's projection of a 6% to 7% increase. Uncertainty remains over how many 2016 oat acres were lost to harvest snow, with many Alberta and Saskatchewan acres still unharvested.

## Why it matters

Larger expected oat acreage would add supply and pressure oat prices, while lower spring wheat plantings could tighten wheat supply. Poor harvest quality from the 2016 snow losses could limit feed-grade oat supplies.
