VICTORIAN harvest was building strong momentum, GrainCorp said on Monday.
In its weekly update, GrainCorp said growers were harvesting canola and barley across most areas.
“Clear weather and rising temperatures for the next few weeks will allow for further progress across the state and should bring in more cereals.
“We continue to see the full spectrum of grades delivered to our network, including milling wheat and malting barley. Teams are actively assessing requirements for segregations as needed.
“Growers are urged to stay in close contact with site managers regarding deliveries and segregations.”
It said 542,350 tonnes had been delivered to Victorian silos last week with the state’s total deliveries now 703,450 tonnes.
“In southern NSW, harvest is now underway in all regions, thanks to improved weather conditions over the week. Sites are receiving predominantly canola, but wheat receivals are increasing as growers access drying fields,” GrainCorp said.
“Harvest has finished up in central Queensland, with many growers enjoying record yields in the biggest harvest they have seen in over a decade. The focus is now on southern Queensland, with the majority of receivals coming from the Goondiwindi region.”
