Harvest 2024 special: Yields, quality and ergot - on the grain trail from combine to customer
Description
In this episode, we pay a special visit to the UK's biggest farmer-owned grain storage facility at the height of harvest.
Camgrain stores up to 500,000 tonnes of cereals, oilseed rape and pulse crops every year on behalf of its 500 farmer-members.
Camgrain's four advanced processing centres work around the clock to take in hundreds of lorry loads of grain from the field every day.
We follow the grain trail from the field into the store where grain is tested and blended to get the best value for growers.
We visit the grain laboratory and discover how Camgrain ensures grain meets the strict specifications and consistent supply demanded by customers.
