FEATURED ITEMS
DON'T BE A BRIGHT SPARK THIS HARVEST
South Australia grain producers are being warned against complacency this harvest through Grain Producers SA’s (GPSA) ‘Bright Spark’ campaign. With grain producers able to continue using the Grassland Fire Danger Index (GFDI) measured at two metres, it is vital that they are fully prepared to prevent a fire from occurring.
Our ‘Don’t Be a Bright Spark’ awareness campaign is aimed at putting the emphasis on fire prevention in grain producers’ hands by providing a reminder of their obligations under the Grain Harvest Code and general commonsense.
HARVEST 100 2023!
The 2023 Edition of Harvest 100 has been released! Aussie rock anthem – AC/DC’s song Thunderstruck – received the most song submissions to take out number one spot.
The second GPSA Harvest 100 is a diverse mix of country music, hits from decades past and some of the latest songs frequenting the airwaves that is sure to get a strong run during harvest

Once the grain producer has completed the pledge, they will be sent a ‘Spray Pledge Pack’ which includes a letter, certificate, corflute and bumper sticker, as well a $100 voucher.
