# Traders watch wheat-sorghum spread as planting window opens - Grain Central

> Sorghum is trading about $50/t below feed wheat in Australia as traders watch for a large spring sorghum planting. Patchy rain over growing areas has left traders unsure of the direction of domestic feedgrain prices. Darling Downs users may stick with wheat unless it exceeds $340/t for January delivery.
