Aust Harvest Update

[Landdownunder]

My gut feel still below 10yr average wheat and barley maybe canola.
Lentils above.
Beans other legumes tad below.
Quality hearsay and ain’t checked elevator stats for what the quality % are but think protein down on wheats easy enough to find each elevators receivels and various grades readily available to all growers traders end users quite transparent.

Some nasty weather in parts and some real nasty weather in other talk of downgrades but always over blown unless it continues

So is harvest just starting? Is the rainy weather in the lentil area? Nothing the importers love more than slight weather damaged red lentils. Doesn't affect splitting yields much and they can buy them at a discount.

My grain buyer says that china is buying cheap feed barley from Oz and that is why export barley business has dried up here for the past year. The domestic market is the big one for barley here but for a few years export business was significant. Bringing barley to the elevator was a nice option for those of us with compact yards and straight trucks. Can we expect those supplies to run out soon?

Feed Barley give or take $300 per tonne on farm for me yesterday export based.
Domestic about $8/12 above that but buying hand to mouth waiting for prices to ease

Speaking of lentils,
have you heard of aphanomyces ? Do growers talk about it much?

This will have a big impact for growers in Canada going forward.
