> Australian feed grain trade has thinned as graziers focus on other inputs, including a 22,000-tonne lupin cargo moving from Western Australia to Victoria. Northern growers are reluctant to accept offered prices, and southern growers are hesitant to forward sell amid yield uncertainty. Barley Downs is quoted at A$338/t prompt.

## Why it matters

Thin trade and reluctant growers leave Australian feed barley and sorghum prices supported in the north while southern supply stays uncertain. Lupins arriving in Victoria add some competing protein supply to the feed market.
