# Feed weekly outlook: Barley's slide slows as harvest drags - Country Guide

> Western Canadian feed grain prices show signs of slowing their decline as harvest delays and poor weather forecasts take over as the main concern. Barley was trading just under $200 per tonne into Lethbridge, and analysts see little softening in prices. Lower-quality feed durum is coming to market aggressively.

## Why it matters

Harvest delays and weather may cause quality downgrades, adding feed supply and limiting near-term price declines as feedlot grain demand rises. Barley prices may hold steady in the short term, though a large grain supply still caps upside.
