Testing protocol

Every harvest has its challenges so ensuring safe, efficient storage is important to protect yield and grain quality. Once your crop arrives at a Frontier store, our team of lab and store specialists work together to make sure that harvest quality is maintained for as long as the crop is with us. Fair and representative sampling from the lorry on the weighbridge allows for rigorous testing, with the results helping us to understand the crop’s characteristics and you to maximise its potential value.Our lab teams pride themselves on their technical expertise and use specialist analysis equipment so that:

  • You know the standard of your spec across all your tonnage
  • The storekeeper can handle the grain accordingly
  • End consumers receive the variety best suited to their produce
  • Traceability and transparency along the supply chain is maintained.

 Frontier customers can access grain movement and sample result history at any time via MyAccount in Frontier's MyFarm platform

 

Storage process

Following testing, your grain will be handled according to the results (dried, cleaned or tipped direct to store). Prior to harvest we carry out careful preparation of all storage locations, including extensive cleaning and sanitisation. Once grain reaches the store, our storekeepers will monitor each load tipped so that every commodity is stored to specific customer requirements.

We store product for up to 12 months, with tipped grain reduced to safe levels quickly by constantly monitoring temperatures and other properties. We also carry out frequent sampling and testing across the storage period. 

As well as our own grain stores, we work with a network of third-party professional storekeepers and storage co-operatives to provide growers with a comprehensive range of options across multiple regions.
