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: Down $5 ($365 to $375/tonne). Barley: Up $5 ($290 to $300/tonne). Triticale: Steady ($300 to $310/tonne). Oats: Steady ($265 to $275/tonne).
Mild weather in Western Australia has seen growers eager to get as much crop off before further adverse weather events.
Wheat prices increased in the last week but there will be some pressure setting in as harvest selling increases.
Barley values pushed higher as strong export demand props up the market and creates more competition for domestic users.
Oats have been steady but could lift if wider feed grains remain in high demand.
