IN the ever-evolving landscape of agriculture, innovation is the lifeblood that sustains and propels the industry forward.

Grain Storage Technology, since its establishment in 2016, has embodied this drive for progress.

By collaborating with HE Silos Forbes and Charles Sturt University, GST has pioneered advancements in grain storage, fumigation and preservation, offering solutions that blend safety with effectiveness.

The Thermal Insect Control System is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation, the cutting-edge technology employs thermal air and ultraviolet light to activate phosphine tablets within sealed silos, exterminating all stages of insect life without compromising grain quality.

This breakthrough ensures stored grain remains untainted and market ready, addressing a critical challenge faced by grain producers.

GST’s recent expansion to Bute marks a significant milestone. By bringing its groundbreaking knowledge and technologies to Yorke Peninsula, GST has strengthened its foothold in the region and empowered local farmers with state-of-the-art storage solutions.

This move, complemented by the steadfast presence of its sister brand HE Silos, established in 1969, underscores a long-term commitment to supporting and enhancing local agricultural practices.

HE Silos is well known for constructing robust and economically viable silos for grain, fertiliser and stock feed, along with mobile field bins and livestock feeders.

Their emphasis on grain maintenance — augmented by the TICS design and Agridry’s Aeration System — further enhances the value they offer to the farming community.

GST executive director Stevie-Leigh Morrison says the inclusion of Agridry into GST’s product portfolio is another feather in their cap.

“Agridry, a leader in grain drying technology since 1976, brings a suite of Australian-made drying products tailored for the diverse and challenging conditions of Australian farming,” Mr Morrison says.

“From the Mobile Predator and Kinetic dryers to the Tundra and Goliath ranges, and the indirect silo drying Tanami units, Agridry’s products ensure optimal drying of grains, legumes, nuts and non-edible items.

“This strategic partnership allows GST to offer a comprehensive range of drying solutions from its Bute distribution centre.”

The upcoming showcase at the Eyre Peninsula Field Days, August 13-15, presents an excellent opportunity for farmers to witness firsthand the capabilities of these advanced systems.

“GST and its affiliates are not merely providing products, we are fostering a future where agricultural practices are more efficient, sustainable, and profitable,” Mr Morrison says.

“The dedication to bringing top-tier technology to South Australian farmers is evident in our relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.

“As GST continues to innovate and expand, it reinforces the importance of technology in agriculture, ensuring the backbone of our economy remains strong and resilient.”

For local farmers seeking reliable and advanced grain storage and drying solutions, GST stands out as a beacon of progress and support.
