North West Tasmania

Notes:

Grain Commentary

• Wheat: Up $5 ($395 to $405/tonne). Barley: Up $5 ($345 to $355/tonne). Maize: Down $35 ($355 to $365/tonne). Canola Meal: Steady ($545 to $555/tonne).
• The harvest season is nearly wrapped up across northwest Tasmania, with some areas still finalising deliveries.
• Wheat prices rose earlier in the week, following an increase in the global markets. Barley prices continue to rise, also in response to strong offshore values. However, canola prices have started to reduce as future markets begin to flatten.
