by Robin Twizell RMD Agriculture: A COMBINATION of weather and the arrival of a few boats has helped the old crop wheat market recover a little. The same applies to old crop barley, which has gone from no buyers to no sellers in a week.
New crop prices have continued to drift, with a plentiful world supply of wheat available particularly from the likes of the Ukraine.
Oilseed prices have also drifted following slightly weaker US markets. The US markets are lower as growing conditions are seen as near ideal but there is a long way to harvest.
It will continue to be a weather market for the next month or so.
