Asia's feed grain importers are seeing increased prices and decreased stocks as the worst U.S. drought since 1956 pushes Chicago corn futures to over $8 per bushel and strains alternative supplies in places like Australia, according to reports. A 25 percent jump in cash prices for Australia's feed wheat as a result of reduced stocks is hurting Asian feed makers, who get their supplies from Australia and replaced some 7–8 million metric tons of corn with feed wheat, worth about $2.0–$2.2 billion, in 2011.
