My local elevator

[farmaholic]

Ive got exact same machine in combine as 3levator for protien/oil moisture.

Have bushel weigher and sceenings testers

So roughly we know grade before it goes in.

And with vitterra dynamic binning or upgrading usually good result.

Start a paddock of low protien look for buyers with flat price.

Bit of mucking around sell8ng wheat in oz to attain best best price but thats deregulation of markets.

In my opinion there is too much emphasis put to visual(subjective grading) characteristics of wheat than objective characteristics. Maybe Aussie growing and harvesting conditions produce a more consistent wheat quality. Disease, unfavoranle weather and difficult harvests can wreak havoc on quality.

When you are talking visual (subjective grading) are you referring to the frost and mildew? It would be hard to assess those factors by machine. This is one area where universal training would help not sure how many farmers or elevator staff understand or been shown/trained how to properly use the standards and guides. Heck I've been in elevators where they don't even know where they are or they have been so contaminated they are a half a grade out.

You got us beat Mallee. That’s like dumping a super b every 3 minutes for 24 hours. The elevators here couldn’t do a fraction of what yours are doing. They only hold 20-50,000 tonnes anyway. Closest thing for high capacity is some of the big feedlots in the states processing high moisture corn. Some pretty cool videos on YouTube.

Interesting how things are done in different places.

I am guessing that there are several trucks unloading at once. If I remember correctly there were conveyor unloads at each pad so probably dumping at more than one pad at a time.

Men would still be arguing which bunker to put it in.

They'd all be trying to "fix" the one conveyer that goes a little slower. Even though it's not broken, just slower. All while taking turns bullshitting with the guys dumping.

Meanwhile the girls would unload 17,375 of the tonnes and the guys would pat themselves on the back at a record well broken.

A guess id say 60% male 40% female.

Advantages of semi trailertheyjust in a dump.

Road train access on all our roads helps now 60.5 t pay load.

Will see if i can get my trucker tontake photos today

Auotomatic tare weight onnway out drive over full lengthvweigh bridge weighed computerized ticket mach8ne spits out weights at truck hieght they just open there windows grab weigh note gone gone, nonhold ups on way out.

Last year there a no bra day to raise money for breast cancer awareness, apparently the line up that day in morning was huge drooling trucker farmers, truckers asked to donate a few g9ld coins,nthey raised thousands

[malleefarmer]

Haha you aren't telling me anything I don't know Mallee.

I'm told it's much more fun to watch me grade canola and peas or shake for bugs than have the guys do it. Something about the side to side motion...

30 shakes 8 inches per stroke right! Farmers must watch to make sure you move sieve far enough and count the strokes it is their responsibility.

Mechanize it. ....to maintain Blaithin's dignity.
