Storage solutions
The benefits of using our central store include:
- Improved marketability of your grain
- Ability of the store to blend grain on site – resulting in improved value
- Ability to test and segregate grain according to its quality standard. This avoids the situation where, in a farm store, a farmer can unknowingly spoil better grain by mixing in grain that has a lower protein or Hagberg reading
- To assist in the marketing of grain, the store is registered with the LIFFE as a Grain Futures Store
- Initial cost of storage space is significantly less per tonne than the cost of on-farm drying, cleaning and storage facilities
- Peace of mind - farmers who store their grain at Wessex Grain can be free of the worry associated with grain storage such as insect infestation, rejected loads and grain being collected at inconvenient times.
- Grain can be marketed by the farmer or can be included in one of the Wessex Grain pools
