Grain Testing Workshops

We are pleased to advise that "Partners in Grain" will soon be presenting their Stored Grain Treatment Sampling and Testing" workshops.  The workshops aim to prepare farmers for the coming harvest.  Specifically, the focus will be on on-farm grain storage including:

- Grain treatment - for short & long term storage, insect resistance, farm hygiene
- Sampling to gain truly representative samples for on farm stocks
- Testing grain on farm

The workshops will be held at the following locations;
 
Gilgandra (August 5)
Trangie (August 6)
Parkes (August 7)
Temora (August 10)
Lockhart (August 11)

Two presenters, one from "Grain Trade Australia" and the other, the "Department of Primary Industries" will address many of the issues faced by grain growers.

We will be presenting our full range of grain testing equipment including our  brand new portable protein analyser.
