South Australian barley growers are deciding whether to store grain on-farm or feed it to livestock as harvest begins. Late-October feed barley prices were as low as $210/t at Thevenard and up to $262/t at Outer Harbor, well below a year earlier.
Growers cite high diesel and fertiliser costs, while sheep prices are strong.
Lower South Australian barley prices reflect weak local demand relative to ample supply, and growers retaining grain for livestock would reduce the amount offered to the market. Elevated input costs keep production expensive even as prices soften.
