French winter barley rated 94% good/excellent, soft wheat sowing nears end

Reuters reports that French winter barley is rated 94% good or excellent in the latest crop condition survey. Soft wheat sowing in France is nearly finished.

WHY IT MATTERS

Strong crop condition points to a healthy French barley supply for feed buyers, which limits upward price pressure. Completed wheat sowing supports normal production expectations for the coming season.
