Market ManagementDairygold sets harvest 2026 grain prices at 218 euro for barley, 228 euro for wheat
The Irish co-op took in more than 100,000 tonnes of grain and beans and says quality was excellent even though dry weather cut some yields.
Market ManagementEl Nino puts global grain supplies at risk, International Grains Council warns
The IGC sees a 90% chance of a very strong El Nino peaking in November, with world wheat and maize output each down 3%, though wheat futures kept falling on geopolitics and UK yields came in well below average.
CropsIKEA, Royal Canin and Yara back regenerative farming, but who pays remains open
Executives from IKEA, Royal Canin and Yara told a forum in Beijing that regenerative agriculture has proved itself in pilots, but no one has settled who carries the cost and risk of scaling it up.
CropsQueensland trials test sowing time and seed rate against herbicide-resistant weeds
University of Queensland and state trials under GRDC will combine sowing date, seeding rate and herbicides to control annual ryegrass and paradoxa grass in northern grain crops.
CropsFMC launches a soil-applied wheat herbicide in China aimed at resistant grass weeds
Maipeng, a 36% bixlozone formulation, works by a mode of action unrelated to the ALS and ACCase herbicides that ryegrass and foxtail in Chinese wheat now resist ten- to twenty-fivefold.
AgribusinessUS farm bill lapses for a fourth year as Senate agriculture chair sets out the path ahead
Senator John Boozman says higher ARC and PLC payments are coming this autumn, House and Senate differences are small and USDA can keep programmes running, but SNAP cost-sharing still blocks the 60 votes needed.
CropsLate-sown winter wheat loses yield that extra seed cannot win back, MSU trials show
Three seasons of Michigan State University trials found yields fell steadily as planting moved from mid-September to mid-November, mainly because late wheat forms fewer heads, and higher seeding rates narrowed the gap but never closed it.
CropsChitosan seed coating raised wheat yield potential in Russian lab trials
Saint Petersburg State University researchers coated soft wheat seed with chitosan and glyoxal; the best method raised potential yield more than 1.5 times in laboratory experiments and cut disease risk.
CropsZinc-efficient Melka wheat lifts both yield and grain zinc in Ethiopia
A multi-year study at more than 600 sites across Ethiopia's wheat belts found the zinc-efficient variety Melka, combined with targeted fertiliser, improves the odds of high yields and high grain zinc even on zinc-poor soils.
CropsTirlán pays €220/t for feed barley as its grain intake falls to 190,000t
Irish co-op Tirlán set harvest prices of €220/t for green feed barley and €230/t for green feed wheat, up €30/t on last year, but took in 190,000 tonnes against almost 223,000 in the 2025 bumper harvest.
CropsUK harvest: wheat and spring barley yields fall while oilseed rape shines
AHDB's final harvest update puts UK winter wheat at 6.9 t/ha, about 11 percent below the five-year average, spring barley 17 percent below and oats 14 percent below, while oilseed rape averaged 4.0 t/ha, 19 percent above.
CropsSydney researchers map Yr88, a wheat gene behind 86% of stripe rust resistance
University of Sydney scientists at Cobbitty mapped Yr88 from the wheat line Kazouria Taliani; it explains about 86 percent of resistance to one stripe rust strain but is race-specific rather than durable.
