Protein Measurement for Profit - Are you measuring Protein this harvest?

Are you undecided if measuring protein on-farm is for you OR wanting to know how a NIR instrument can increase your profit?  Consider the following;
 
• A NIR instrument can help you segregate grain on-farm.
• Knowing the protein level of your grain can aid in blending grain to maximise profit.
• Avoid time away from the farm taking samples to a depot for testing when you can measure the results instantly on-farm.
• If you have paddocks in multiple locations – consider a portable NIR unit.
• Exporting your grain?  Run a registered storage site? - a NMI (National Measurement Institute) trade approved NIR unit may be the best for you.
• Expand your marketing options – knowing what you have on-farm increases opportunities to offer your grain to a wide variety of buyers = more dollars in your pocket.
• Want to measure more than just wheat? – choose a system that can measure the grain you need.
We can offer your farm enterprise a NIR instrument to suit your needs.  Not only do we supply Australian made protein and moisture NIR units, we also offer sales, service and installation support for all Grain Testing equipment.

New Website

We recently launched our brand new website – click here to check it out.  The new site design better reflects our image and offers a wealth of information for grain growers and handlers.
“We wanted to create a site where anybody from the grains industry could interact and be educated”, says Craig Moore of Graintec Scientific.
We will be adding new content to the site over the next few weeks so stay tuned!
We welcome your feedback to help us improve the site.  Email us your suggestions.
