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: Steady ($380 to $390/tonne). Barley: Up $10 ($330 to $340/tonne). Triticale: Up $5 ($310 to $320/tonne). Oats: Up $5 ($265 to $275/tonne).
Western Australia experienced a week of dryer weather across the state except for some showers in parts of Albany.
The WA market remains relatively well supported but seller activity has definitely dried up in the past week. Given the lack of moisture in the state, there is potential for prices to rise further over the coming month.
The strength in the barley market has continued and given that new crop Ukrainian barley supply may be disrupted there may be further upwards movement over the coming weeks.
