Dairygold Confirms Grain Prices for Harvest 2026

Dairygold has confirmed its grain pricing for harvest 2026, with over 100,000t of Irish grains and beans received from growers.

The co-op will pay €218/t for green feed barley and €228/t for green feed wheat, including a trading bonus but excluding VAT.

Premium crops are also included in the pricing, with contracted malting barley paid at €228/t and contracted beans at €255/t, both excluding VAT.

Dairygold noted that overall grain quality was excellent throughout the harvest, despite dry growing conditions affecting yields in some crops, particularly beans and winter cereals.
