From field record to dispatch document.
Every stage of the handling chain, in order, and what's recorded at each one. Where a step is planned rather than running today, it's marked plainly.
Field and plot record
Each block is tracked against the plot it was planted on, the crop and season it carries, and the inputs applied.
Plot ID, crop, season, planting date
Harvest
Combine harvesters bring in cereal crops; harvest timing is set by the season's planting record and crop maturity.
Harvest date, plot ID, crop
Cleaning
Grain is cleaned to remove chaff, debris and off-types before drying and grading.
Batch ID
Drying and moisture check
Moisture is checked against a target for each crop before grain moves to grading and storage.
Moisture reading Verify — per-crop targets
Grading
Cleaned, dried grain is sorted to grade before bagging.
Grade, batch ID
Bagging
Graded grain is bagged for storage and onward dispatch.
Bag count, weight, batch ID
Warehouse storage
Bagged grain is held in the farm's 450 sqm warehouse ahead of dispatch.
Warehouse location, quantity, date in
Dispatch documentation
Each outgoing shipment carries documentation tying it back to the batches and plots it came from.
Dispatch note, quantity, destination, date
A silo, weighbridge and grading facility are planned
A silo with a processing area, a walk-in bagging area, a washing and grading area with stainless steel tables, and a weighbridge are planned additions to this chain Planned. None of this is built yet, and no date is set — today's handling runs through the farm's existing warehouse and field equipment.
