# Perspective advised on northern crop assessments | Farm Online | ACT

> Grain Brokers Australia reports that a February cold snap swept across Europe, with some regions recording sub-zero temperatures and the lowest minimums in 50 years. Snow cover and winter hardiness largely protected crops, and warmer, wetter weather since then has lowered the risk of frost damage.

## Why it matters

Limited frost damage means European winter crop output is not expected to fall much, which keeps wheat and barley prices under little upward pressure. Traders will watch spring conditions for any change.
