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 ($385 to $395/tonne). Barley: Steady ($345 to $355/tonne). Triticale: Steady ($315 to $325/tonne). Oats: Down $30 ($345 to $355/tonne).
The entire grain growing region has been dry over the last week, with only areas around the south coast recording traces of rain.
Wheat markets have been subdued over the past week, with little interest from buyers or sellers.
Even with strong export demand, barley prices have stabilized somewhat, trending sideways to slightly firmer.
New crop oats were still sitting steady. These prices are tipped to further increase if spring remains dry as feedlots source grain.
