Oat Crop Yields and Quality Report Positive
County extension director Dick Pulse says the recently harvested oats crop shows higher than average yields, mostly 50 bushels or more on good soils, with good quality indicated by many samples over 34 pounds per bushel. Rust was present but not widely damaging, and prices are low with oats around 56 cents a bushel. Some farmers store oats under price support, but few are using the program as market prices near the ceiling.
