Latest storage fees at elevators have dropped to $1.65 per tonne.

Free month of delivery and following month.

Exporters trying to get more grain into system less on farm.

I have some on farm storage no way i can store it for that.

Maybe importing countries don't want to run the supply cupboard too low, like being on your last roll of toilet paper and you can't buy any more.

After imports of hundreds of thousands of tonnes from Canada the last while, Australian exporters must be eager to get back to business....

Some publications aren't even worthy of the task, glossy or not!

Canada must be the exception to that. I think all alcohol drinking has gone up 😆

Your storage in elevators... it’s still hard to get my head around. They are large bins correct? What would the average size be you’d say? I’ve gotten the impression your grain is mixed with anyone else’s grain of similar use/quality. So there might be 10 farmers grain in that one bin.

Then if one of those 10 sells 200 tonne, 200 of the mixed grain is pulled out of the bin and sold.

If I’ve got the gist of it correct... then how often are quality issues a concern. Especially in certain crops - canola, malt, peas, etc - and especially after extended storage. Are the elevators doing anything to protect quality, like turning the bins, and monitoring it?

Looking forward to it Mallee.

Enjoy your commentary from Oz and especially your pics.

Maybe you could add some pics from the terminal and the transports that get it there.

Also your farm supply depot and equipment they use.

Thanks again.
