Week ending Sunday 21 October 2018 report

Viterra received 3,142 tonnes into our system last week bringing the total receivals for the 2018/19 season to 3,360 tonnes. Wheat, barley and peas have been the commodities delivered so far.

The Western region received its first load on Friday, with grain delivered into our Cowell site.

Last week, the first grower to benefit from our wheat dynamic binning service received an upgrade from AUH2 to H2. Viterra has introduced dynamic binning this harvest and growers may be able to upgrade to ASW1, APW1, H2 and H1. More information is available: Dynamic Binning 

Segregations continue to be modified based on feedback from growers and grain being received.

Viterra is focused on providing a high level of service to meet growers’ needs and has been making significant investments in infrastructure to improve services to growers and improve the efficiency of the network.

Investments this year include:

• Two new 40 metre weighbridges at Tailem Bend and Wallaroo
• 17 new front end loaders across the network
• Six new drive over hopper stacker sets and upgrades to 13 existing sets
• Major shed sealing programs to ensure maximum grain storage and availability of segregations
• Two new mobile grain cleaners

The Western region received its first delivery to its Cowell site on Friday and continued to receive grain over the weekend. The Western region is still recruiting seasonal workers to join our team for this harvest, for more information visit: Harvest Jobs

The Central region received 3,071 tonnes last week and a total of 3,288 tonnes for the season. So far Port Pirie, Crystal Brook and Wallaroo sites have opened for receivals.
