GROWING AUSTRALIAN GRAIN
Safely managing risks with crop inputs and grain on farm
This guide provides information for grain growers
and their advisers about managing risks with inputs,
grain handling and safety on-farm.
For each key step in the grain cropping cycle this
guide outlines:
◗
Meeting the requirements
- how grain farming
businesses can meet key legal obligations under
statute and common law and basic market
requirements.
◗
Other practices to consider
- these practices may
help you to produce reliable, quality grain and
manage risks.
Some parts of the guide will not apply on all farms
and the detail of some practices and regulations
varies depending on the specific farm circumstances,
state and region. Please refer to more detail where
required, such as the state and territory laws and
codes of practice.
This guide for grain growers links with the post-farm
sectors’
Australian Grain Industry Code of Practice.
