THE BEST GRAIN BAGGING SYSTEM ON THE MARKET
CONTENTS
According to Brett Phillips, of Silo Bag Solutions , "the penny seems to have dropped with the industry, in that the modern silo bagging system is the most efficient and economic way to handle and store grain". When asked why now, Mr Phillips explained there's a combination of reasons. He said due to the steep advances in the technology and design, particularly during the last 12 months. "Loading a bag is now a one man job, the maintenance is near non- existent, the capacity per hour is now huge (up to 1400 ton per hour), and the out-loading capacity of the grain is up to 400 tonne per hour," he said. "The new Akrons are a very well engineered, simplified, productive machine that anyone can use. "Even the new Akron extractors now have a retro fitted bag roller on the drawbar, which rolls the bags up once the bag is emptied. They are very clean and easy, and the recycling companies love it in that format."
Then there’s the cost of having those headers lay idle due to unforeseen delays. “The route cause of the majority of delays at harvest (weather excluded) occurs outside of the paddock - and usually has a ‘P’ a ‘T’ or a ‘B’ in front of it... ‘People’, ‘Trucks’ and ‘Bulk handlers’.” Mr Phillips said there was increased buyer demand for ex- farm grain. “The strong trend for buyers to source grain ex-far and out of the bag has been another big driver. “Ex- farm bagged grain, is fully traceable, quality is segregated, and the flexibility for buyers to call on it, making the grain marketing process much more efficient. “For the grain grower, he’s getting a ‘premium’ by avoiding the costly ‘bulk handling system’ of trucking, in-out/carry charges and the in-flexibility of buyers being able to physically buy out of the bulk handler.” Farmer Trent Carter,

Wallaloo Park, said he’s “ahead by $40 plus dollars per tonne by bagging and marketing ex-farm’ without having to think”. He said alternate grain storage options such as fixed storage and bunkers had their limitations from a logistics, segregation and cost point of view. “The cost of fixed storage is close to $300 per tonne, where-as a bag is around $4 per tonne and the storage capacity is effectively unlimited. “You’re committed the fixed storage and then you’ve got the task and cost of still trucking to that site. Then weevil management. The same for on-farm bunkers.” Grain and sheep farmer Lenny Polkinghorne of Charinga said, “we’ve
Mr Phillips said the economic and mental health benefits; the importance of getting the crop off the stalk as fast as possible was finally sinking in. "Drawn- out harvest windows are avoided by using the silo bagging solution," he said. "And it's not just limited to cereals, with many clients now storing canola, pulses, sorghum, even high moisture maize with ease. "Customers have reported finishing harvest in half the time since adopting the system, with half the stress! “They’ve simply removed the trucking element (taking labour away) at harvest time and the stress of delivering into off farm or outside- of-paddock storage. “There

is no need, and that’s significant profit wise, but also for mental wellbeing. It’s amazing hearing farmers talk about the pressures of harvest have eased and is more relaxing for owners, employees and family. “Post harvest on-farm labour and (trucks) can be re-allocated to marketing the grain, allowing for more considered decisions to be made and more efficient use of fixed costs and better offpeak trucking rates.” Mr Phillips said harvester capacity was another key driver. “The new generation headers are taking up to 80 tonne per hour off,” he said. “That’s a lot of grain to shift in a short period of time from just one header.
run the numbers on fixed storage and they do not work, not even close”. He said he tried on-farm bunkers for two seasons, and he was still trucking grain, still opening/ closing the bunker, weevil management was difficult, as was segregation. “Then taking the grain out wasn’t easy. The loses from the bunker were also too high. We hired an Akron last year just to dip our toe, but soon realised this made complete sense. “The new machine is only the cost of 1.5 field bins, and gives us unlimited storage. We bag everything now, even the canola goes in the bag.”
