WHEAT prices have risen a little on the back of a generally weaker pound and reports of crops generally suffering, because of bad weather. Barley prices have remained unchanged, despite higher values to intervention
Oilseed rape prices have fallen again and there is concern that old crop in particular could fall further as South American soya crops become available. Oilseed rape oil is also considered too expensive against other vegetable oils.
