Western Canadian cash barley in Lethbridge has slipped from about $450 to about $435 per tonne in early January, as ample U.S. corn imports arrive by unit train at prices similar to barley. Trucking shortages are also limiting grain movement to southern Alberta feedlots.
Cheap U.S. corn displacing barley in feedlot rations keeps Canadian barley under pressure, though prices remain near the top of their historical range.
