  The link to USDA WASDE source data given by Bloomberg does not work: https://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity/wasde/wasde0721.pdf https://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity/wasde/wasde0721.pdf Though the Wayback Machine has a copy: https://web.archive.org/web/20210712160123/https://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity/wasde/wasde0721.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20210712160123/https://www.usda....

    You can get all of them (monthly since 1973) here (they even have an API): https://usda.library.cornell.edu/concern/publications/3t945q76s?locale=en https://usda.library.cornell.edu/concern/publications/3t945q...

  "The dry conditions come after years of falling oats acreage as U.S. grain growers swapped it out for more profitable crops such as corn." 40% of US corn goes to Ethanol production. If we're serious about reducing food prices, we need to abandon Ethanol mandate and subsidies.
