# Feedgrain Focus: Southern barley tumbles, wheat holds - Grain Central

> Southern Australian feed barley prices fell while wheat held, as growers sold to clear storage ahead of harvest. Rumours of Chinese buying of up to 1 million tonnes of new-crop Australian wheat supported wheat. Sorghum prices were also lower, and excess rain in New South Wales added to downside pressure.

## Why it matters

Heavy grower selling and weak domestic demand are weighing on Australian feed barley and sorghum. Wheat is steadier because of export interest, mainly from China.
