> Australian feed barley fell to lows around A$205-245/t at harvest after China imposed a prohibitive tariff on Australian barley following an anti-dumping investigation. Prices have since risen nearly A$30/t, helped by tight global corn stocks, with USDA pegging the global corn stocks-to-use ratio at 25%.
