CBH chief executive Ben Macnamara said it was a "remarkable effort" by growers to go back-to-back with another record crop."There's a bit more grain coming through in the southern parts of the state."Ben Macnamara says CBH Group passed its 2021 receival record on Thursday, with millions of tonnes yet to reach the bins.
"It'll help people pay down a lot of debt, it'll help cover the hugely increased cost of fertiliser, fuel and a lot of our inputs.John Hassell says two consecutive record-breaking seasons will set farmers up to reinvest in next year's crop.High yielding crops and an extended winter have left farmers in southern parts harvesting much longer than usual.
"We just had so much rain and there wouldn't have been many days, apart from towards the end, where we actually started work before lunch," she said.
