Centenary Thurles Co-op Sets First Harvest Grain Prices as Corn Markets Surge
The first harvest grain prices of the year have been set by Centenary Thurles Co-op, with feed barley priced at €225/t and feed wheat at €237/t. This brings the base price for green barley delivered at harvest to €216/t, with green wheat at €228/t.
Corn markets have seen an increase over the past few days, with French corn rising from €264/t on Friday evening to €276/t on Tuesday evening. US corn traders are waiting to see if any US grain will be bought by China during their state visit to Washington DC.
French corn yields remain disappointing as the harvest progresses, according to Argus Media, due to dry weather conditions that continue to cause concern in France.
