UK ex-farm feed wheat eased to £198.10/t on April 22, 2021, while barley rose £2.50/t to £162.70/t. Cold and dry US weather, Brazilian safrinha planting delays and dry conditions across the UK and Europe have pushed new-crop grain prices higher.
Weather-driven supply concerns and low global stocks support feed grain prices into the new crop. Barley's narrower discount to wheat may increase its appeal as a feed alternative.
