Maize Shortage Means No Price Relief Until May
The graziers report maize supplies will remain tight due to poor September crop, beetle damage, and farouche conditions. Early maize from the North Coast is due in Sydney this month but scant quantities will hardly ease prices, with relief not expected before May when mid and late crops mature if favorable weather holds. Tumut and Gundagai crops show strong potential amid current good rains.
