I like to observe the fields at sides of road, while bicycling. To see, what are farmers growing there and how the things grow. This time I found a field of oat. It seems like oat have become rare cereal. I have been looking for it sometime already.. And wondered whether there even is any. Now I've only found 2 fields of oat. Most common seems to be wheat, then barley, rye and the last position would be for oat.. Rape seed would be some where beside barley and rye..When I was kid. Oat was pretty common to be growing on sovkhoz fields. But now.. don't know why. Is it because demand or, maybe difficulty to harvest.. I think the oat tends to lodge a lot.. but as well does barley. The least, likely lodges wheat. Maybe that's why there's so much fields of wheat lately. I don't know..PS. These fields of oat, that I've found. Were near to a horse barn, maybe it's meant for food of horse? I know horse like to eat this cereal.. either grains, or whole plant ^_^

Oat grains are usually used for making porridge. They're rolled flat (oatmeal) in mill and from those can make porridge or eat as it is.
Children and many adults don't like oat porridge. I disliked it when I was kid. Because it's somewhat very sticky. But now I like it.
There are also several brands of bread, containing some of oat flour. I like those breads also.I never eat a bread that is made purely only from wheat. For bread to taste good, it have contain also some barley, or and oat, or rye, or smth.. or at least groats. Pure whit bread is not worthy of my time to consume. :P
I think oat might be healthy.. I believe it should be good for skin.. or something. hahaha I don't know.. :P Yeah. Now European Union's police will come to arrest me, for claiming that it's healthy. :P
I've been connected of farming. But I don't farm now. Now I just bicycle in rural places and admire the fields and tractors, harvest combines.. and all that kind of stuff.
