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: Steady ($395 to $405/tonne). Barley: Up $5 ($330 to $340/tonne). Maize: Steady ($315 to $325/tonne). Sorghum: Steady ($325 to $335/tonne).
Many key crop growing areas experienced hot and dry conditions over the last week.
Wheat markets have been relatively quiet with minimal price fluctuations as growers return from the holiday period.
Barley prices have also been steady during the past week with strong offshore demand providing upwards pressure on values.
Sorghum harvest is commencing across the central Downs area this week with crop considered in good condition and pricing steady for the time being. The availability of SFW is the key determinant for local sorghum demand.
