Aust view.

Saudi’s latest #barley tender produced strong results with 660kMT booked, significantly more than the 480kMT initially tendered for. Prices leapt over $40/mt since the Nov tender, with an average price of $277.65/mt CIF for Mar-Apr shipment. This should help support local prices!

Why don't they just come to Canada and buy it they have a direct link to producers through elevator system and ports besides they are their partners? What kind of a deal did Canadian Farmers get from them anyways?

Seems like barley acres are going to be at least last yrs levels. Seed growers are almost sold out of Synergy and most other varieties.
I’m struggling with seeding any. Grew Synergy in 2020, all went malt have some left but also grow durum. My pencil tells me I need $6 malt or feed compared to new crop $8 durum to consider growing barley. I made more growing durum them malt last yr net return.
Going to clean some Synergy see what my gut tells me before spring.

Yes I am curious about mallees statement . Thats why I posted that article to show how empty the barley cupboard is getting out there. China bought a shitload of US corn in the last few days. Interesting times.

China is buying sorghum from the US with both hands too

I'm just hoping they are building stocks up after the typhoons last summer and rebuilding their hog herds after ASF and not building strategic food reserves before other things.
