Target November for Barley Sales - Minot Barley Prices

This chart which tracks annual feed and malting barley price patterns out of Minot, N.D., indicates that modest seasonal strength in barley prices can usually be expected in the fall after harvest. The vertical lines in the chart indicate November months. Short-term storage may be worthwhile for some barley growers, since there might be a greater possibility of making malting and less stringent quality discounts in months following harvest. The chart indicates that the general range for malting premiums is between 50 cents and $1.00.
