# Mid North harvest: growers eye top yields as grain prices fall | Stock Journal | SA

> South Australian growers in the Mid North are estimating harvest yields, with wheat possibly reaching 3.5-4.5 t/ha and barley around 4-5 t/ha. The family's barley target is about 4 t/ha, though final results depend on how crops finish. Grain prices are reported to be falling.
