USDA[0] says that the US produces 1 million metric tons of oats per year, or 4% of global production. Sure, that is not the best, but clearly still in the game.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.fas.usda.gov/data/production/0452000" rel="nofollow">https://www.fas.usda.gov/data/production/0452000</a>
In many ways, it's a story about far more than just oats.<p>US Ag policy is so, <i>so</i> screwed up. But with more entrenched interests than the US has Congressmen, and probably 10X that number of full-time lobbyists - good luck trying to fix it.
