Variable crop conditions in Alberta and Saskatchewan, including dryness around Red Deer and parts of Saskatchewan, are lifting Prairie feed grain prices weeks before harvest. Feed barley bids in Alberta rose 13 cents to C$9.38/bu, and feed wheat in Alberta rose 22 cents to C$11.59/bu.
Feedlot demand for feed grains is quiet, with buyers mainly ordering US corn at C$270-275/t.
Dry patches on the Prairies and firmer feed barley and wheat bids raise replacement costs for feed users, though quiet demand limits the upside before harvest.
