Dynamic binning has delivered around $64 million in value to growers since 2018/19, with the opportunity for immediate upgrades of wheat, barley and canola
Through dynamic binning, growers have the opportunity to have their wheat, barley and canola upgraded for loads that are just outside of the receival standards.
new
We are giving growers a greater opportunity for a dynamic binning upgrade for loads outside of malt receival standards, by increasing the Malt1 dynamic binning tolerances for retention, screenings and test weight for the 2024/25 harvest.
This will give growers the chance to achieve a higher value for their barley by accessing upgrades for Spartacus (SP1), Compass (CM1), Maximus (MA1) and Commodus (CD1) at sites across Viterra’s network.
With the support of our buyer and end use customers we are able to offer this to growers, while ensuring we can continue to meet their malt barley requirements.
These changes are only for the 2024/25 harvest to provide more opportunities to obtain an upgrade in a below average season.
Dynamic binning is available at all Viterra sites with the following segregations:
- Wheat grades ASW1, APW1, H2 and H1
- Barley grade BAR1 and Malt1 grades for Spartacus, Compass, Maximus and Commodus
- Non-GM canola (CANO) and GM canola (CAGM)
Viterra’s dynamic binning is instant – the grade is printed on the ticket at site and is immediately available to transact.
Through dynamic binning, we are able to provide more value to growers, and at the same time continue to meet customers’ outturn requirements.
In addition to dynamic binning, we also provide a 1% tolerance for moisture above Grain Trade Australia (GTA) receival standards on all wheat and barley deliveries, which has been in place for a number of years.
To receive a dynamic binning upgrade, the following four criteria need to be met:
- Classification results fall within the specified tolerance zones.
- Load meets all other quality requirements, including variety, contaminants and MRLs.
- The higher grade segregation is available at that site.
- The rolling stack average of the higher grade meets the required tolerances
