# Feedgrain Focus: Wheat-to-barley spread widens - Grain Central

> Australian wheat prices rose about A$5/t while barley fell by the same amount, widening the wheat-to-barley spread to around $80/t. A weak Australian dollar near 66 US cents, its lowest since 2009, is making barley more attractive to exporters.

## Why it matters
