French barley sowing has been slow because of rain, with only 5% of planned area planted in the seven days to mid-March and 41% planted overall by March 13. This is 3 points behind last year.
Winter wheat and barley condition ratings held steady, with 92% of wheat and 87% of barley rated good to excellent.
Delayed sowing raises some risk to French barley output, but stable crop ratings mean the effect on prices is small for now.
