As grain storage regulations evolve and consumer expectations rise, maintaining quality assurance is more critical than ever. Frontier offers expert support and nationwide storage solutions, combining Frontier-owned grain stores with third-party professional storekeepers and storage co-operatives. This ensures growers meet industry standards while protecting the value of their grain.
To maintain optimal quality, growers can also benefit from grain conditioning, cleaning and drying services. From the moment crops arrive at store, our lab and storage specialists work to preserve harvest quality for as long as the crop remains with us.
Rigorous testing is carried out on arrival, providing insights that:
- Ensure growers know the standard of grain specifications across all tonnage
- Help storekeepers manage grain appropriately
- Match grain varieties to end-user requirements
- Maintain full traceability and transparency across the supply chain.
Guidance around grain storage and movement compliance can be found on the Red Tractor website.
