# Grain prices rise as concern grows for UK crops - Farmers Weekly

> UK feed wheat futures rose £5/t in the first half of the week to £158/t for May 2020, with new-crop November futures up over £6.50/t. Weaker sterling and Russia's plan to limit January-June grain exports to 20 million tonnes supported prices, while a large 2019 UK crop caps gains.
