The events will be held in SA later this month and early March.

The workshops will assist growers contemplating grain storage infrastructure investment with independent and impartial advice around grain storage options, determining return on investment and best practice grain storage management.

There is a growing trend of building on-farm grain storage as a way of managing risk, accessing new or emerging supply chains as well as managing logistics.

The workshops include guest speaker, Kondinin Group engineer and GRDC grain storage extension specialist, Ben White, who will take questions on all things grain storage related and will happily discuss Kondinin Group research findings in an open Q and A session.

Workshops start at 1030am each day and finish at 1pm including lunch.

  • 23 Feb, Minnipa
