Oats price data: every public source, named
The price series DataCrop ingests for oats, listed by the identifier each publisher uses. Every row we serve carries its own source, that identifier, its unit, its region and its ingestion timestamp — readings are served per identifier, never silently averaged into one number.
Pull it yourself
Every endpoint is Bearer-authenticated; there is deliberately no keyless data route. The free tier covers corn, soybean and wheat with 365 days of history at 500 requests/day for keys created on or after 2026-08-20 (earlier keys stay at 2,000/day).

USDA AMS market reports carrying oats
Report identifiers are the values source_ref carries on AMS rows. Each is checkable at USDA My Market News.
| Report | ID | State | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Dakota Daily Grain BidsPrimary | 3186 | SD | State elevator bids |
| Minneapolis Daily Grain Report Cash price benchmark for hard red spring wheat (and other grains traded on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange). Reflects exchange/spot prices, not country elevator bids. Comparable to state_bids for the same commodity in the MGE cash area, but the mechanism differs: this is an exchange reference, not a local buyer bid. Do not confuse with slug 3049 (Southern MN state bids). | 3046 | MN | Regional cash |
| Portland Daily Grain Bids Pacific Northwest export terminal; the benchmark for soft white wheat exports. Corn and soybean coverage is sparse — this slug is primarily useful for Pacific wheat basis analysis. Not comparable to Gulf export bids (slug 3147): different freight lane, different commodity emphasis, different basis structure. | 3148 | OR | Export bids |
Where our own catalogs disagree
Two files in this repository describe oats: one lists what each publisher offers, the other records which identifier we treat as the default. They do not currently agree. We publish the disagreement rather than pick a winner, because picking one would assert something neither file establishes.
Designated default: WPU012203. Listed in the source catalog: nothing.
Identifiers on this page come from the catalog files the ingestion pipeline itself runs on, and change only when the pipeline's own configuration changes. For the full per-source coverage view see data sources, and for the endpoint reference see the API docs.
