Grain prices have hardly moved since last week, with dried wheat between €170/t and €172/t, the same as last week.

Barley is similarly unchanged at €160/t to €162/t at 14% moisture.

There have been no concrete prices for green grain delivered, with on-account payments made by merchants for winter barley.

Maize is up slightly to €174/t having been €170 last week. Soya is at €305/t and oilseed rape is coming in at €385/t.
