Moisture management

For the 2024/25 harvest, high moisture grain will be managed as follows:

  • High moisture barley can be received into feed barley grades.
  • High moisture wheat can be received into the two trial wheat grades, AWW1 and AWW2.
  • There are no dedicated high moisture segregations for feed barley and wheat.
  • There are no high moisture charges.

The receival standard base limits for moisture are:

  • Milling wheat grades up to 12.5%
  • AWW1 and AWW2 wheat up to 13.5%
  • Malt grade barley up to 12.5%
  • Feed grade barley up to 13.5%.

For milling grades of wheat, AWW1 and AWW2 wheat, and all feed barley grades only, grain with higher moisture may be received provided the site stack weighted average is within parameter. These higher limits will open and close on notice.

  • For milling grades of wheat, grain will be received up to 13.5% moisture dependent on the stack weighted average. 
  • For AWW1 and AWW2 wheat, grain will be received up to 14.0% moisture dependent on the stack weighted average
  • For all feed barley grades, grain will be received up to 14.0% moisture dependent on the stack weighted average.
