Oat is known prior to the Bronze Age. Oats probably persisted as a weed-like plant in other cereals for centuries prior to being cultivated by it. According to some authorities, present cultivated oats is developed as a mutation from wild oats in Asia Minor or southeastern Europe. The oldest known cultivated oats were found in Caves in Switzerland that are believed to belong to the Bronze Age. Oats were first brought to North America with other grains in 1602 and planted on the Elizabeth Islands off the coast of Massachusetts. As early as 1786, Georga Washington sowed 580 acres to oats. By the 1860s and 1870s, the westward shift of oat acreage in the United States had moved into the middle and upper Mississippi Valley, which is the major area of production today.
