Kickstarting Harvest 2020

Last week, our Linton Advanced Processing Centre saw it’s first loads of Malting Barley brought into the store after a slow start due to the temperamental weather of late. This week, our Cambridge store has begun seeing a slow and steady flurry of lorries filled with Winter Barley and Oilseed Rape.

The teams are now in full swing of their Harvest hours, and our seasonal staff have been fully inducted and trained. Last year, Harvest saw Camgrain intake a total of over 350,000T's of members crops, took approx. 11,000 calls and scheduled approx. 20,000 loads. We’re expecting the madness to be much the same this year, with new challenges to overcome, but we can’t wait! Harvest 2020 will come as a relief for many of us, after what has been a difficult year to say the least, for everyone.

It’s looking like the weather is going to pick up over the next few weeks meaning our farmers will be busy, out combining their fields and gradually filling the stores. Before we know it, October will be upon us and our farmer members will be planting winter crops in preparation for next year!

However, while we all still have a hot minute of free time, how about you enter our photo competition? It will only take a few moments to enter and you’ll be in with a chance of winning £200 in Amazon vouchers! We’ve been loving looking through your entries so far and appreciating the beauty of the British countryside.

We wish you all a successful and prosperous Harvest and look forward to speaking to you soon!

What's in the boxes?

October 3, 2024

What's in the boxes? We are delighted to announce the delivery of not one but two new ‘state of the art’ colour sorters from Cimbria. These colour sorters will be central to our new cleaning plant meaning Camgrain members never have to worry about ergot, problems with admixture or costly rejections.
