# Darling Downs feed barley hits $400

 | Queensland Country Life | QLD

> Darling Downs feed barley reached $400/t after rising $20/t in a week and more than $50 over four weeks, as buyers competed for supply amid prolonged dry weather in eastern Australia. Grain is being trucked and railed in from Victoria, South Australia and the Mallee to southern Queensland, and sorghum prices fell after China dropped its anti-dumping investigation into US sorghum.
