# Feedgrain Focus: Export demand, continuing dry bolster prices - Grain Central

> Eastern Australian feedgrain prices firmed as export demand from the Philippines rose and dry conditions persisted in southern Queensland and northern NSW. Wheat in Brisbane was quoted steady at $380-385/t, with barley about $5/t higher. Growers are reluctant to sell while crops struggle for lack of rain.
