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.
Grain Commentary
- Wheat: Up $10 ($280 to $290/tonne). Barley: Up $10 ($215 to $225/tonne). Maize: Down $10 ($395 to $405/tonne). Canola Meal: Up $15 ($370 to $380/tonne).
- Growers remain concerned about the possibility of a wet harvest; this is impacting how both buyers and sellers are currently interacting.
- Whilst wheat prices remained mostly steady, prices showed some more volatile following strength in offshore markets.
- Barley prices are also remaining stable despite offshore market volatility.
- Inclusion of barley in domestic feed rations is expected to remain relatively high this season due to the current price spread between wheat and barley.
- Canola pricing moved in line with offshore future markets this week.
