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 $15 ($315 to $325/tonne). Barley: Up $15 ($265 to $275/tonne). Maize: Up $25 ($340 to $350/tonne). Sorghum: Up $20 ($265 to $275/tonne).
Weather has continued to influence markets with further quality concerns arising, as rain and flooding persists across southern Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Wheat markets eased early this week following prices surging over the past fortnight. Feed wheat estimates have continued to increase which has kept domestic users absent, for now.
Barley markets are now starting to move in line with wheat as east coast harvest is disrupted with quality concerns building. End user demand continues to place a floor under values as domestic road logistics tighten.
Old crop sorghum demand has increased following the heavy rainfall and floods. Local feed demand into Q1 remains subdued with users also awaiting the outcome of east coast harvest in order to review options and price relativity amidst feed inputs.
