# Feed weekly outlook: Corn imports set to drop - Grainews

> Feed grain prices in Western Canada are flat, with large U.S. corn imports into Alberta's Feedlot Alley capping prices for other feed grains. Those imports are expected to decline as domestic feed grain supplies rise, and feed oat prices are improving.
