# U.S. corn pressuring barley price | The Western Producer

> A record U.S. corn crop, projected at 425.26 million tonnes of grain overall and a record 73 million tonnes of corn exports, is pulling down Canadian feed barley prices, which are about 20 per cent below summer highs. USDA's latest estimate temporarily pushed December corn futures below US$4 per bushel. Some U.S. corn is expected to flow north to Canada.

## Why it matters

Cheap U.S. corn caps the value of feed barley in Western Canada, and weaker domestic feeder demand adds further pressure. Buyers should expect feed grain prices to stay soft while U.S. corn supplies are plentiful.
