# Barley prices drop as local rains ease pressure | Stock Journal | SA

> Australian new-crop barley for 2025-26 has eased to about A$310/t in Adelaide and A$315/t in Geelong, down A$20/t from May highs, as timely local rains reduced drought premiums and increased grower selling. The discount to APW1 wheat has narrowed to A$35/t, well below the five-year average spread of A$74/t. Cheaper Black Sea barley and Argentine and US Gulf corn are pulling feed buyers toward lower-cost origins.

## Why it matters

Easing drought premiums and cheaper competing origins point to softer Australian feed barley values until domestic carry-in tightness reasserts itself before the November harvest.
