Notes:

Change in price is the change since the last report. Prices are estimates based on delivery to dairy farms with allowance for freight, storage, and marketing costs, but exclusive of GST. Wheat prices are for the relevant stockfeed wheat available in a region (ASW, AGP, SFW1 or FED1) and F1 for barley.

The grain report has been commissioned by Dairy Australia to provide an independent and timely assessment of grain markets in each dairy region. This report is created using data provided by Profarmer Consulting. It should be remembered that actual prices may vary for quality or other reasons. Whilst all reasonable steps have been taken to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this report, Dairy Australia disclaims all liability to the fullest extent permitted by Australian law for any inadvertent errors and for any losses or damages stemming from reliance upon its content. Dairy Australia recommends all persons seek independent advice and, where appropriate, advice from a qualified advisor before making any decisions about changes to business strategy.

Commentary

Wheat: Up $5 ($395 to $405/tonne). Barley: Up $5 ($340 to $350/tonne). Maize: Steady ($350 to $360/tonne). Sorghum: Down $5 ($340 to $350/tonne).
There was a cooler change leading into this week, after warm and dry conditions. There are reports that soil moisture conditions are deteriorating across much of the state.
Old crop and new crop wheat values are continuing their convergence with new crop values weakening. Local feed user interest remains focused upon the lower valued new crop market.
Barley supply is sparse but will pick up as harvest commences. New crop values are moving in tandem with wheat and are pressured by increased production estimates.
Old crop cereals and canola are finding patchy demand for the October delivery period, but end users are looking to stretch coverage until new crop comes off.
