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.

Commentary

Wheat: Up $20 ($325 to $335/tonne). Barley: Up $5 ($255 to $265/tonne). Triticale: Steady ($285 to $295/tonne). Oats: Down $15 ($275 to $285/tonne).
Most of the state has seen warm and dry conditions this week which will mean crops finish off quicker than growers would have liked.
Wheat and barley prices remain mostly unchanged from last week. Malt grade premiums for barely remain mostly non-existent.
Canola prices remain at high levels and increased again this week on the back of increases to Matif and Winnipeg future prices. Growers are likely to be active sellers at these prices.
Oats have seen a tough finish to the season with potential quality issues present.
