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: Down $15 ($295 to $305/tonne). Barley: Down $5 ($230 to $240/tonne). Maize: Up $30 ($375 to $385/tonne). Sorghum: Down $5 ($265 to $275/tonne).
Favourable weather has allowed the last bit of harvest to be completed in the western parts of Queensland, along with summer crop planting commencing.
Wheat prices dropped across most grades and ports as local prices continue to track with offshore markets. Offshore feed wheat demand is supporting ASW prices.
Barley is moving in correlation with the wheat markets. Values are still well under SFW, so it will maintain its demand profile and stay prominent in feed mixes.
Sorghum markets are starting to slow leading into the Christmas period. A fortnight of dry weather is required to allow growers to return to paddocks.
