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: Up $50 ($445 to $455/tonne). Barley: Up $65 ($395 to $405/tonne). Maize: Up $40 ($415 to $425/tonne). Sorghum: Down $5 ($280 to $290/tonne).
Rainfall covered a lot of the cropping regions of Queensland with falls of between 50-200mm which has put winter crop planting on hold for the moment
Wheat prices repeated the trend from last week only with a sharper rise in old crop bids as trade demand continues to support bids
Lack of local supply as well as logistical and weather concerns have supported barley bids which has seen old crop prices jump
The rainfall over the past week has kept the sorghum harvest on pause again which may see more SOR2 than initially expected
