On the grain storage front .we weight every load in.and record it for the farm field.each farm has its own bin /onfloor storage tonne age Some of our own grain is put in a pool storage to make room for our contract farms grain.each farm sells its own grain at the moment.

The on floor store on the left can take dry grain,the right has grain stirrers,warm air blower.the dryer is a continuous system.we dry/store for the farms we cut for.hope to get a bit of spare storage soon.
