What’s your view on crop assurance . Will you take non assured grain ?

Silo outlines marked out, ready for first pour.

Discharge conveyor will sit in the concrete channel (sheeted against the frost):

New discharge augers arrived yesterday, ready for first pour.

Will you take non assured grain ?

Not under any circumstances. It has been against the TASCC rules for a number of years.

What’s your view then on the fight back against red tractor . Various threads running on here where we’ve had enough of the proposed gold plating and regulation of red tractor, whilst mills import grain without the same costs that we are having to bear.
Hopefully change is coming and these protection rackets can be consigned to the dustbin.

Clive knows the situation large grain stores are in, we have no choice but to be compliant with the TASCC code if we want to work with national merchants and famous food brands. We can't opt out of TASCC assurance or choose a different scheme.

Even if we could opt out, that would just open the floodgates for every merchant, mill and maltings to set up their own compliance rules and auditing procedure, which would be a complete nightmare.

What sort of tonnage can your silos hold @Woldgrain Storage ?
Are the new ones any bigger ?

Does look a large site when I’ve been nearby.

Our silos range from small intake bins holding 180mt up to our biggest that will fit 5,000mt of milling wheat.

The new ones will be 5,000 tonners and will take our total capacity up to 100,000mt.

So, you wouldn't be able to store grain imported from Ukraine then?

Can tascc lorries not carry grain imported under other countries' assurance schemes?

Surely in the days of genesis, fabbl, any approved sticker was fine?

True, TASCC covers grain assured by recognised assurance scheme.

Discharge trench looking good and first pour of concrete done before the auger tube is fitted.

Lost more or less a full week of concreting with last week's ice and snow.

Is it still the fireworks company in the containers next door ?

Is it still the fireworks company in the containers next door ?

I think it is two companies, one doing fireworks import and re-packing and the other doing pyrotechnics.

I remember helping to cart soil in for some of the banks, while my dad was on the digger shaping it up.
Must be 19 - 20 years ago now.
