Feed Grain Weekly: More barley acres possible despite less demand

Canadian analyst Jim Beusekom expects 1.5 to 2 million extra barley acres this spring as canola and pea shipments face new Chinese levies. Feedlot demand is weaker due to tariff fears and a shrinking cattle herd, and corn imports are front-loaded ahead of possible retaliation.

WHY IT MATTERS

More barley plantings would increase supply and pressure prices, while weaker feedlot grain demand reduces near-term feed barley support.
