> FranceAgriMer reported that 76% of French soft wheat was in good or excellent condition by March 31, up from 74% a week earlier and well above last year's four-year low of 65%. Winter barley and durum ratings also improved, and spring barley was rated 86% good or excellent.

## Why it matters

Better French crop ratings signal a larger EU wheat crop, which weighs on wheat prices and reduces demand for imported feed grains.
