With solid grain production over the past few years – in particular, the bumper 2021 season – investing in an on-farm grain storage shed is a smart choice for maximising dollars per tonne.
The 14,000 tonne on-farm grain storage shed designed, built and project-managed for Read Farming for the 2021 harvest, is a quality example of good grain storage.
Project Overview
Located at Stockyard Hill, VIC, the 81m x 40m x 9m grain shed has the capacity to store approx. 14,300 tonnes and uses an open-front configuration,
This configuration works for Read Farming for several reasons:
- The shed can be loaded easily and efficiently.
- Provides even aeration throughout the shed for Faba Beans
- The shed can have an alternate use in the off-season for hay storage, making for a versatile investment.
