again to be editor-in-chief of the Winnipeg Free Report on Farming

CBH breaks monthly shipping record
WEST PERTH, AUSTRALIA - CBH Group broke the Western
Australian shipping record for the month of April with 1.6 million tonnes shipped. It followed the largest ever amount of grain
being shipped over a one month period when January's shipping
volumes broke through 1.8 million tonnes.
In addition, a record amount of 964,832 tonnes was moved across
the state in March. This achieved the largest amount of grain ever
transported via rail during a one-month period.

David Capper, CBH Group general manager, operations, said the
successive records demonstrated the ability of CBH's supply chain
to respond to a record harvest.
"Without the appropriate infrastructure and dedication of our regional and port teams, we wouldn't be able to consistently break records," he said. "It's important that we're able to export growers'
grain to international customers at the time they're wanting it and
demand is normally higher in the early part of the year."
