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 ($405 to $415/tonne). Barley: Steady ($305 to $315/tonne). Maize: Steady ($415 to $425/tonne). Sorghum: Steady ($315 to $325/tonne).
Queensland’s grain producing areas have received a week of warmer and fine conditions, with a favourable weather outlook heading into the next week as well.
Old crop markets recovered leading into the weekend before succumbing to pressure from offshore market weakness. Little trade appetite and thin volume markets didn’t provide support.
Local old crop bids were stagnating as the trade continues to sit back and consumers show a lack of interest (for now). The odd patchy trade short continues to pop up and is providing some support across markets.
Sorghum markets were relatively firm over the past week with trade shorts and contract washouts supporting values. Late sorghum was slowly making its way into supply chains following longer drying periods.
