MAJOR South Australian bulk handler has received 45,797 tonnes of grain in the four weeks to Sunday, according to its latest Weekly Harvest Report.

The company received, 36,847t of grain, most of it barley, in the week to Sunday, and reports harvest is now under way across all three regions.

Barley made up the first delivery at Loxton site in the Eastern region on Thursday.
Eastern region operations manager Jo Klitscher said deliveries were expected to increase in coming weeks.

“We have planned our segregations across sites to maximise the elevation capacity based on what our grower customers plan to deliver, and we’ll continue to work with them throughout harvest to match opening hours to their deliveries.”

around 40 buyers in its system purchasing grain for the domestic and export markets.

“Due to the strong demand, we have historically low levels of grain,so we are very well positioned to manage segregations and maximum storage capacity.”

A more detailed delivery summary, grades tonnes at each site can be found on our web site.

Good deal👍

Just loaded out some feed barley yesterday for $235 picked up. Quite happy with that.

Looks like you’re enjoying the wait😎

Hope everything goes smooth for you. 🍀

I wouldn’t say trade isn’t brisk here or that the grain isn’t fought over. It’s just more behind closed doors.

Plenty of grain moving around, sales are being made, both on the farmer level and international. Just don’t see it much.

However with the nature of contracted grain, there is less that has to be fought for. A big company has a sale for 60,000 tonne, has 50,000 contracted between various locations, they only need to find an extra 10. So they run a special at a few locations that have the quality they’re looking for or nicer freight or whatever reasons they want, and offer something slim like 10 cents more a bushel. They’ve got time to get it.

If there was less presold on contracts the companies would have to put a lot more effort into getting the grain for when they need it. They wouldn’t know 6 months ahead of time that they’ve got the grain for the boat and only need to find another 10,000 tonne before then. They are in a pretty secure position.

That’s a very good point contracts destroy competition.
