Farmers play safe for uncertain 2008 season

16 Apr, 2008 04:08 PM
WITH most of the graingrowing regions of the world expected to produce record tonnages, high prices will not stay around for long.

But with stocks very low, a return to $200 a tonne levels for cereals this season is also unlikely.

South Australian-based Callum Downs analyst, Malcolm Bartholomaeus, says the expectation is for a very large global crop this year.

"We already know there has been a substantial increase in acreage planted right across the world," he says.
