The photo below was taken from the top of our elevator tower yesterday. This block did not yield nearly as well as I had hoped.
Below is a picture of what takes up most of my time during harvest. Dealing with the unexpected things that continually crop up. Here I am fixing an auger that takes grain out of the road delivery pit at our silos. Matt Crumbley (in the disco singlet) who has been working with us for about 4 years now is helping me.
Taken this morning from the top of the elevator tower while everything was being made ready for the day ahead.
All finished here Richard,the wheat crop was what we expected Gregory, Ventura and Livingston all performed well. The chickpea was a bit disappointing; I suspect it took the late heat a bit hard. 3 headers now at Forbes, 1 at Coolamon and the one that stayed to finish the small seed blocks and a sticky paddock back at Edgeroi unemployed. The sixth still sitting where it burnt. How fast can your storage receive grain, there is a 12000t storage next to me with several thousand tonne ground heap as I assume augers cant keep grain away during harvest. We are currently lifting silobags of grain.
