• Wheat: Down $20 ($390 to $400/tonne). Barley: Down $5 ($330 to $340/tonne). Maize: Down $30 ($355 to $365/tonne). Canola Meal: Up $30 ($485 to $495/tonne).
• The harvest has started to ramp up this week before unfavourable weather, which arrived on Wednesday, brought things to a standstill.
• Wheat prices eased somewhat this week as international market prices remain steady and the domestic market processes a potential access issues to China.
• Barley prices have decreased slightly this week as harvest pressure starts to mount.
• Canola prices are still elevated due to the overall strong oilseed complex. As the harvest is only just starting, there is not any significant selling pressure at the moment.
