Alberta's AFSC reports that dry conditions in central and southern Alberta reduced yields and lifted fall feed grain prices. The fall 2018 barley price was $5.24/bu, 40% above the spring price of $3.74/bu, and hay prices rose 64% over the same period.
Lower local supply and strong livestock demand have lifted Canadian feed grain prices, supporting feed barley and hay costs for buyers.
