# Feedgrain Focus: Rain, full supply chain pressure prices - Grain Central

> Widespread rain across northern Australian cropping regions softened feedgrain values in the past week. Traders are looking to the domestic market to absorb grain booked earlier or offered by growers, with growers selling to fill backloads of fertiliser ahead of winter-crop planting. Barley, sorghum and wheat indicative prices in the table all eased or held steady.
