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 $10 ($435 to $445/tonne). Barley: Down $20 ($355 to $365/tonne). Maize: Steady ($415 to $425/tonne). Sorghum: Steady ($330 to $340/tonne).
Growing conditions remain wet with forecasts showing rain in the next week, which will continue to delay planting in some regions.
Wheat prices have been volatile, with old and new crop values in most regions and grades seeing slight decreases.
Barley markets have followed wheat and softened with new crop values influenced by seasonal conditions and planting delays.
Sorghum markets were firm with harvest slowly resuming. Quality and grade are a mixture of SOR1 & 2.
