# Feed weekly outlook: Prairie feed grains following corn's lead | Farmtario

> Barley prices in southern Alberta rose from $220 to $230 per tonne since early February as Canadian barley exports surged to 981,900 tonnes versus 501,400 a year earlier. Feeders are shifting to U.S. and Manitoba corn, which trades at a similar price to barley. Corn is setting the price direction for the feed grain complex.
