Viterra reminds growers that from 1 March, all grain delivered will be received under the post harvest delivery procedure.
With harvest wrapped up across the state, Viterra is continuing to provide delivery options for growers with grain remaining on farm. Select sites throughout the network are available by appointment and growers are encouraged to contact their regional office to arrange a delivery option.
The post harvest delivery procedure is implemented to ensure grain is fit for purpose and the needs of customers and export markets continue to be met.
The procedure involves completing a post harvest delivery declaration form and may require a sample for chemical residue testing before the grain is delivered. This is in addition to the delivery advice and declaration form and the grower receival classification process.
Growers are asked to plan their deliveries in advance as chemical residue testing can take up to ten business days.
Growers can make a post harvest delivery by calling the relevant contact phone number on the Viterra website to make an appointment.
All wheat (except for FED1) and malt barley deliveries will be subject to falling number and rapid viscosity testing to ensure the quality of the grain has not deteriorated in storage.
For further information on sites, commodities and grades that can be delivered from 1 March under the post harvest delivery procedure, please visit the Viterra website or contact your local regional office. Viterra has communicated the post harvest delivery procedure directly with growers via SMS and push notification.
Viterra has a strong focus on food safety and quality management to ensure grain meets the requirements of end use markets and the post harvest delivery procedure is one example of how Viterra achieves this.
