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 ($300 to $310/tonne). Barley: Up $20 ($295 to $305/tonne). Maize: Down $40 ($365 to $375/tonne). Sorghum: Steady ($295 to $305/tonne).
Weather for QLD and along the Northern NSW border has remained predominately cool and dry allowing sorghum harvest to resume.
Wheat prices have been mostly flat with the export market influencing values throughout the past week, though feed values continue to rise.
Barley supply from the NSW border north continues to tighten with trade buying extending into Central and Southern NSW adding support to barley prices.
Sorghum quality has generally been mixed but continues to improve. Prices have been rising largely due a lack of grower selling although the upcoming period leading into Easter could add pressure to values.
