Harvest 2015 has begun. 

Laurence began combining the Vulkan milling wheat in the Paddock and Middle West.

The trailers are filled with grain and transported back to the yard where a sample is taken to test and record the grain moisture and temperature.

Due to the persistent rain over the weekend the grain was coming off the fields at 21.9% moisture. 

In order to maintain quality and safe storage the grain must be at or below 15% moisture content.

 

As the grain is gradually dried, further samples are taken and tested until the correct moisture level is reached.
