Grower reaps the benefits of grain store investment

摘要

A hefty upgrade of grain storage is paying off for one Sussex farm, giving enhanced drying capacity and also offering contract grain storage for neighbouring arable growers in the area. Louise Impey reports.Thanks to a ￡380,000 investment into a WestSussex farm's grain drying and storage facilities, a huge difference has been made to its harvest logistics, allowing it to cope with two combines in a wet year and avoid any delays.When harvest operations are in full swing and two 40t/hour combines are operating, the lOOt/hour intake trench and 41t/hour Perry tower dryer means that grain can be moved and processed seamlessly, with minimal supervision.
