Central West NSW

Notes:

Commentary

• Wheat: Down $5 ($250 to $260/tonne). Barley: Steady ($205 to $215/tonne). Maize: Steady ($335 to $345/tonne). Sorghum: Steady ($285 to $295/tonne).
• Dry and cool weather conditions have continued across much of the state over the past week, with some light showers on Tuesday.
• Wheat prices fluctuated over the past week. Local new crop delivered values were generally firmer with tight logistics and an absence of grower selling. Softer offshore markets weighed on values.
• Old crop barley values were a little softer this week with some price support from a lack of grower selling, constrained logistics and growing support from offshore feed grain values and demand.
• Sorghum prices were firmer this week with reports of quality issues, some cause by mice damage.
