Feed Grain Weekly: Barley still the king of Canadian feed grains

Feed barley in Alberta rose to C$270-272 per tonne delivered Lethbridge as of Jan. 19, up from C$260-265 the prior week, driven by export demand mostly to Japan.

Corn in Lethbridge was quoted at C$280-283, above barley.

WHY IT MATTERS

Strong export demand is supporting Canadian feed barley prices, while corn parity remains a ceiling that limits how far barley can rise.
