Just as a partly educated guess, the part of the US that is in the drought really doesn't produce much of an oat crop anyway. Here in Iowa we can't produce near the yields and test weights that you can in Canada, and the fields that do have oats on them are small 20-50 acre patches. Around here we are lucky to get 36 lb/bu and 50 bu/a. Yeah, I know, someone from New York will come in and say he got 100 bu/a on his five acre patch and probably so, but it's a tiny acreage as compared to the whole world.
In Saskatechewan's cooler climate we were harvesting 100 bu oats at 50+ lb/a. and it was thousands of acres. In fact, the producer we harvested for was feeling bad that his oats were running as low as 50 lb/a. Here in the US the only large area that can come close to that as a whole is the Dakotas. I don't follow the oat market but I suspect the oat market might go up just for the fact that oats might be substituted for other feed grains. Just my .02 that's probably not accurate. Jim
