GRDC Farm Business Update, Online - Storage options to keep harvest moving and protect grain quality

Storage options to keep harvest moving and protect grain quality.

Presenter - Chris Warrick, Primary Business

With above-average yields anticipated in many regions, getting grain out of the paddock and keeping headers moving is key.  Temporary storage options can help keep harvest on track, while preserving quality if managed well.

Chris Warrick will draw on experience from the GRDC Stored Grain project to step through the options available to growers, from bunkers and grain bags to other on-farm storage solutions. The session will look at the relative benefits, risks, costs and practical considerations of each option, including how to manage temporary storage to protect grain quality.
