Load Deliveries into Stores

As per the TASCC code of practice, all trailers delivering grain to store must be sheeted /covered at all times except when loading or sampling is taking place. All trailers must have  a unique identification number (for example - T1), as well as displaying their assurance number (including ACCS/Red Tractor No.for ex farm tractor and trailers.)

All loads must also be accompanied by a Combinable Crops Grain Passport with an in-date sticker attached (no photocopies). If you have no stickers, you can download a passport direct from the Red Tractor website  provided you have preregistered.

All information regarding requirements can be found in the TASCC code of practice, which is available on the AIC website

Moisture

As per previous years, we will accept deliveries below 6% into store, but no moisture bonus will apply. We advise not to combine under 5% moisture.

For Erith Only:

9% - 6%     Normal terms                                                  

6% - 5%     No deductions but no premiums                                                             

Under 5%   Deductions are 2% of the contract price / 1%  moisture           

Under 4%   Possible rejection

For Liverpool & Hull:

Loads rejected below 6%

Crop Temperature at Store Intake

Our contract terms stipulate a maximum 25 degrees crop temperature for oilseed rape deliveries.

We recommend that growers without their own cooling facilities should harvest their rapeseed away from the heat of the day and when ambient temperatures are lower. This also helps to keep moistures above 6%.

Erucic Acid Claims

The claim structure for OSR/high erucic acid deliveries into store for 2023 harvest is as follows:

Between 5.0 and 10.000% erucic acid           £15.00 /tonne

Between 10.01 and 20.00% erucic acid         £25.00 /tonne

Over 20.01% erucic acid                                 By negotiation
