Dairygold Unveils 2026 Grain Prices with Boosts for Contract Holders
Dairygold has announced its grain prices for the 2026 harvest. The base price for feed barley is €213/t, while feed wheat is priced at €223/t. With the addition of the co-op bonus of €5/t, these figures increase to €218/t and €228/t respectively.
The malting barley price has also been announced at €228/t, including the bonus. Farmers who signed up for a minimum feed beans price in spring 2026 will receive €255/t, while those who did not sign up will get €230/t. Oilseed rape growers will be paid €510/t.
Dairygold's trading bonus system means that growers will receive an additional €5/t with their harvest payment if they have spent at least €25/t on seed and pesticides. A separate loyalty bonus will also be given later in the year based on trading levels.
The prices announced by Dairygold are based on a moisture content of 20% for cereals and 9% for oilseed rape.
