Annual call for growers to log their hectares planted
19/5/2025
With seeding underway in most parts of the state, CBH Group has started its harvest preparations and is asking growers to log their hectares planted.
Growers who use Paddock Planner to log their planted hectares before 15 July 2025 will go in the draw to win one of five prize packs - a $1,000 accommodation voucher and $500 for a charity or club of their choice.
CBH Chief Operations Officer Mick Daw says understanding what has been planted plays a vital role in ensuring the supply chain runs smoothly during harvest.
“Knowing the hectares planted helps us prepare for harvest and plan for site services and storage. Even if your plans change, you can update Paddock Planner at any time,” Mr Daw said.
“When growers don’t log their hectares planted, it can lead to unexpected deliveries and pressure on site capacity, which ultimately affects service levels.”
Now in its ninth year, Paddock Planner continues to be a valuable tool, with an eight per cent year-on-year increase in hectares logged.
”The tool is quick and easy to use. It not only helps CBH with harvest planning but also guides what segregations are required based on what’s actually planted.”
Beyond harvest planning, Paddock Planner also supports CBH’s long-term strategy.
“This information plays a role in achieving our Path to 2033 Strategy goal of exporting 3 million tonnes per month by 2033,” Mr Daw said.
“It also gives us the confidence to invest in permanent storage, like the recent upgrades at the Merredin, Broomehill and Munglinup sites and the works underway at Corrigin, Newdegate and Perenjori .”
