Abstract | Nowadays, Australia is the fourth leading wheat exporting in the world wheat market. In 2005-6, Australia exported 16 million tonnes of wheat to the world which earned around $A 3.54 billion of foreign exchanges for the nation. Most grain in Australia is harvested at lower moisture content than safe storage moisture. As grain dries in the field, losses due to natural shedding and lodging increase. Furthermore, a summer rainfall pattern prevails and causes weather damage when the crop is ripe but not yet harvested. |
