# Tale of two feed grain markets in Western Canada | The Western Producer

> Western Canadian feed barley is split between firm old-crop prices and cheaper new-crop bids. Old-crop barley is around C$250/t delivered Lethbridge, while new-crop bids are near C$210 as acreage is expected to rise in 2019. Tight old-crop supplies and reduced farmer selling are underpinning nearby prices.

## Why it matters

Expected higher 2019 barley acreage keeps new-crop values at a discount, while tight nearby supplies support spot prices. Convergence between the two depends on seeding and yield outcomes.
