SEPWA 24 Hour Harvest Challenge
Full results of the SEPWA 24 Hour Harvest Challenge are now available!
During the harvest season of 2007/08 SEPWA conducted in field research examining the interaction between atmospheric conditions and grain moisture. This involved continuous observation of grain harvesting conditions for more than 30 hours at four sites across in the region.
During this time atmospheric conditions such as temperature and relative humidity were monitored against movements in grain moisture.
The full details of this research are now available . . . more information.
This research project brings to a close more than 3 years work by SEPWA on the topic of high moisture grain harvesting to improve the Esperance port zones grain quality. SEPWA see’s this work as having initiated an important cultural change in harvest management right across the south coast, from which growers will benefit for years to come.
SEPWA would like to acknowledge the support of GRDC, the CBH Group, Grain Pool, AWB and the Department of Agriculture and Food for their funding and support in this work.
