Barley last year was hurt by frost
and much of th basin's crop was
old for around 12 60-3.80, almost a
Ml per cent comedown from Die 16
level reached for the 147 crop. Th
expectation for this fall U for top

better price than last year but for
feed grains to display little strength.
The barley support price will be
lower than In th past and from

the next harvest will be about hall
