France: 61% of winter barley sown by October 23

FranceAgriMer estimates 61% of the winter barley sown by Oct 23rd , vs 44% last week (and vs 72% same time last year), GrainCom analysts reported on October 26.

Conditions are still dry, although a bit of precipitation came down, but too little to make a difference.

Logistics remains very complicated in view of the very low water level at the European river systems.

Cash markets are mostly quiet, also because of the gathering at the ECE 2018 in Rouen.
