Australian wheat quality improves over 2012
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — Australia’s wheat grain for milling was up 2.6 million tonnes, or 36%, in June compared to last year, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) said on July 16 in its Stocks of Grain Held by Bulk Handling Companies and Grain Traders report. ABS said stocks of wheat grain for milling were 9.9 million tonnes in June, which was 70% of all grain stored. This represents a decline of 1.5 million tonnes, or 13%, from May, but an increase of 2.6 million tonnes compared to June 2011. Feed grade wheat grain stocks were 4.2 million tonnes, 30% of all grain stored, which was a decrease of 847,000 tonnes from May 2012. Compared to June 2011, feed grade wheat stocks were down 1.9 million tonnes, or 31%, ABS said. Bulk storage of wheat in June was 14.1 million tonnes, down 2.3 million tonnes, or 14%, from May. It was up 692,000 tonnes, or 5%, from June 2011. All states registered a decrease in stocks of wheat grain stored in June. The largest fall in stocks of wheat grain stored occurred in New South Wales where a decrease of 850,000 tonnes, or 18%, from the end of May 2012 was recorded. The largest quantity of wheat grain was held in Western Australia with 5.9 million tonnes that accounted for 42% of the Australian total. New South Wales (including ACT) was next largest with 3.8 million tonnes contributing 27% of national stocks.

Cargill completes grain elevator modernization
HALLS, TENNESSEE, U.S. — In time for the this year’s harvest, the $25-million modernization project of Cargill’s Hales Point grain elevator is complete, the company announced on July 20. “Like a number of other investments Cargill has made in its network of grain elevators in the United States, this project focused largely on enhancements that have our farmer customers in mind,” said Barry Brandstetter, general manager of Cargill AgHorizons Mid-South Farm Service Group. Cargill will also be faster in loading barges destined for Gulf export facilities and the export market. Because of the enhancements, the number of trucks that can be unloaded each hour will signiﬁcantly increase, which in turn will reduce the wait time at the peak of harvest. On the other end of the system, Cargill will also be faster in loading barges destined for Gulf export facilities and the export market. On July 19, the Cargill team at Hales Point hosted a grand opening attended by area farmers, local and state ofﬁcials, contractors and vendors and representatives of Cargill from Minneapolis.
