SOFTNESS in offshore markets and ready availability has contributed to feedgrain prices in south-eastern Australia dropping $15-$25 per tonne in the past week.
In contrast, northern values for white grains have held ground as growers in southern Queensland and northern New South Wales remain frantically busy completing their summer-crop harvest and getting the last of their winter crops in the ground.
This has made grain on farm in the north harder to find this week compared with the south.
