The oat (Avena sativa), sometimes called the common oat, is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed, which is known by the same name (usually in the plural). Oats appear to have been domesticated as a secondary crop , as their seeds resembled those of other cereals closely enough for them to be included by early cultivators.

For example, using UK government Livestock Units (LUs) from the 2003 scheme [1] a particular 10 ha (25-acre) pasture field might be able to support 15 adult cattle or 25 horses or 100 sheep: in that scheme each of these would be regarded as being 15 LUs, or 1.5 LUs per hectare (about 0.6 LUs per acre).
3 acres (1.2 ha) of oats produced another forty bushels and 1-acre (0.40 ha) of rye produced fifteen bushels. One hundred and twenty-two bushels of wheat came from 9 acres (3.6 ha). Hay is measured in tons, and five tons were harvested from 5 acres (2.0 ha). An area of 1-acre (0.40 ha) was planted in Irish potatoes, which produced 75 bushels. [4]
The units by which the yield of a crop is usually measured today are kilograms per hectare or bushels per acre.. Long-term cereal yields in the United Kingdom were some 500 kg/ha in Medieval times, jumping to 2000 kg/ha in the Industrial Revolution, and jumping again to 8000 kg/ha in the Green Revolution. [1]
TULARE COUNTY, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Residents in western rural Tulare County can expect to see smoke after 900 tons of hay caught fire, the Tulare County Fire Department announced Wednesday morning.
In 1914 the soils of the Fishing Creek watershed were found to yield large quantities of farm crops. Potatoes yielded 100 to 200 bushels per acre, corn 70 to 90 bushels per acre, oats 40 bushels per acre, wheat 20 to 30 bushels per acre, and hay one to two tons per acre. [45] J. H.
The primary cash crop were potatoes. In 1947, it was noted that approximately 2,500 tons were grown, with yields of 10–17 tons per acre, with the quality being excellent. Additional successful crops yielding thoroughly ripened grain included wheat, barley, oats, and winter rye. Hay, crops of oats, alone and with peas or vetch, also did well.
