South East farmers are continuing to store their harvested grain in the sprawling silo complex at Millicent.
The silos were closed by grain handler Viterra in 2019 and subsequently sold to a local family.
This firm has again made storage available to farmers with harvesting in full swing across Millicent and district.
It also offers a value-adding option with a nearby oilseed crushing plant on Saleyards Road and adjacent to Lake McIntyre.
Meanwhile, growers delivered 75,000 tonnes into the Viterra network across South Australia in the week ending January 9 bringing total receivals for the 2021/22 harvest to 5.6 million tonnes.
Viterra operations manager Michael Hill said the majority of deliveries were wheat followed by faba beans and barley.
“With the 2021/22 harvest drawing to a close, Viterra will continue to provide delivery options for growers delivering grain remaining on farm,” Mr Hill said.
“Deliveries to Viterra sites throughout the network are available by appointment and arrangements can be made by contacting the regional office.”
Grain delivered to a Viterra site from February 1 will be received under the postharvest delivery procedure.
