# Feed grain weekly: Barley bids edge lower despite higher corn, wheat prices - Grainews

> Western Canadian feed barley bids edged lower in early May even as corn and feed wheat prices rose. USDA's May 12 estimates put world barley production at 155 million tonnes, with Canada's crop at 9.0 million tonnes versus 9.8 million last year. Canadian corn imports from the US are about four times last year's pace.
