French wheat crop rating slips, spring barley sowing accelerates

A Reuters report carried by MarketScreener says the French wheat crop condition rating slipped while spring barley sowing accelerated. The item gives no further detail on the rating change.

WHY IT MATTERS

A lower French wheat rating signals some yield risk for the EU's largest grain crop, which is modestly supportive for wheat prices.
