This harvest has been a tale of firsts for our Coonamble site 🌾   From trucks rolling in 10 days earlier than their usual kick off, to breaking our daily record for canola receivals by 2,000 tonnes - it's been a big season to say the least.   We caught up with GrainCorp Area Manager Tom Koerstz to hear how the team adapted to the early influx and how the season is shaping up for our northern NSW sites.   Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gS-2wd3s

Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do - it helps us create a workplace where everyone can thrive.   Our Organisation Development Specialist Catherine Farrell spoke with NAWO on how our focus on inclusion has helped us exceed our female representation targets, while Quality Services Manager Abby Griffin shared how she's been supported in her career journey with us so far.   We might be biased, but we think it's a great read!

We recently completed a $5 million upgrade at our Burren Junction site in NSW to enhance safety and efficiency, just in time for the 2024-2025 harvest. 🌾🌟 This included: 🚚 A new truck marshalling yard, accommodating up to 54 road trains. 🚧 Two additional weighbridges and additional sample stand. 🌾Four new bunkers, boosting storage capacity by over 100,000 tonnes. These upgrades mean a safer site, smoother traffic flows and improved facilities for our teams and drivers – helping us to better support local growers. The crops are looking fantastic across the region, and we can't wait to see the benefits these upgrades bring. Read more about the project here 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wOqLo

That's a wrap at Rochy! 🎨💛 The painting of the #GrainCorp silos in Rochester, Victoria wrapped up recently, bolstering their place on the popular Australian Silo Art Trail. Renowned contemporary artist Jimmy Dvate added his third instalment on site, featuring the New Holland Honeyeater - a tiny bird with a big heart. For Jimmy, bringing silos to life through art is a humbling experience, particularly for what it brings to the local community. “For me, it’s an amazing opportunity and a real honour to do something like this, especially coming back and seeing the difference the artwork can make,” says Jimmy. Rochester Business Network have been instrumental in bringing the project to life and we love seeing the town benefit from the addition of its third mural.

Coming up Next…Building a low-emissions canola supply chain 🌱   We’re launching our new initiative, GrainCorp Next, to create a viable low emission grains and oilseeds supply chain.   By connecting farmgate to final product, GrainCorp Next supports growers to adopt even more sustainable farming practices while incorporating renewable energy sources and other practical interventions into GrainCorp’s supply chain.   Initially, the program will focus on canola - a crop that is highly integrated with our operations, from handling to seed crush and oil refining.   14 growers across NSW and VIC have joined the program this year, and they’re currently in the process of mapping their individual farm emissions with Nutrien Ag Solutions - Australia to create a baseline for their farm.   Interested to learn more?
