3.5m tonnes and counting

GrainCorp operations general manager Nigel Lotz said the local network recently broke the record for the most grain received in one day with 230,000 tonnes being delivered.

“The quality across all commodities has been excellent, which is very pleasing for growers,” Mr Lotz said.

“Good growing conditions throughout the year means that we’re experiencing another strong year of harvest receivals, particularly in areas like central Victoria.”

GrainCorp’s north-east sites have so far taken more than 800,000 tonnes of grain

The corporation has operating sites at Echuca, Tocumwal, Yarrawonga, Dookie, Elmore and Numurkah.
