# Rayglen Market Comments - April 30, 2025 - Rayglen Commodities Inc.

> Rayglen's April 30, 2025 comments say old crop feed barley bids in Saskatchewan are strong at $5.50 to $6.00/bu FOB farm, and oat trade is steady in the high $3s FOB farm for feed oats. Seeding reports indicate a 16% reduction in pea acres, reversing earlier expectations of an increase, largely attributed to tariffs disrupting markets.

## Why it matters
