Using a #harvest24 rain delay to read an excellent study of #wheat #markets and conflict by ⁦@Voz_Dennis⁩ Critical decisions in #wheat production, handling, freight & logistics. I agree with the conclusions! Testament to this is the #murtoastickshed built during WW2 in 1942

@samheagney I have 2 in vehicles and so far very happy, until Elon turns the switch off one day.

Representatives from across Australia's agriculture and fuel supply chain have urged the Federal Government to immediately initiate a national low-carbon liquid fuel feedstock strategy to give effect to the ambitious agenda outlined in the Federal Government Aviation White Paper released this week. The industry groups include @GrainGrowers, the @sugarcouncil and @CANEGROWERS #ausag

The call by the industry groups for a national strategy recognises the need for government leadership to ensure Australia can provide a sustainable, consistent supply of raw materials necessary for producing low-carbon fuels.

In addition to significant upright storage & 20kt of bunker capacity @samheagney has a 5500t (wheat) WRL dual-end opening sealable shed which can be fumigated. With multi purpose functionality it was being used for cotton seed & urea storage when I dropped in this week. @theGRDC
