Feed barley: Attention shifts to new crop

Old crop feed barley is flat with very little trade as attention shifts to new crop, while ongoing heat stress in spring crops is raising yield concerns and keeping farmer selling slow, according to the ADM Agriculture Weekly Market Report published on May 28, 2026.

Key factors:

  • Old crop feed barley prices are flat and there is little trade to report, and the market is moving its attention onto new crop.
  • Warm conditions continue to cause some concern for the spring crop, which has had a stressful growing season to date, and yield cuts are much discussed. Farmer selling is slow as a result, which is keeping the inactive. We do not see much activity now before harvest when hopefully liquidity picks up.

Outlook

The report stated that old crop prices are likely to remain rangebound through to the end of the season. New crop values will continue to follow wheat prices until we see greater liquidity on physical trade.
