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 ($330 to $340/tonne). Barley: Down $10 ($305 to $315/tonne). Maize: Up $5 ($365 to $375/tonne). Sorghum: Steady ($345 to $355/tonne).
Showers across southern Queensland were recorded over the last week, with rainfall received 10-12mm of rain. Further rainfall is forecast for the state over the next week.
Old crop wheat values remain steady, with selling expected to pick up in July as growers finish planting. There has been limited interest in new crop sales with some growers waiting until the crop is well progressed before committing.
Barley values remain relatively firm. End user demand for old crop barley is being met from supply in the southern states and central New South Wales.
Sorghum remains a relatively high valued feed grain, with export demand continuing to support local bids for quality grain. Unless sunny conditions return, any sorghum coming off now will largely be required to run through dryers to meet delivery standards.
