Roll quality and dust were of great interest to all. Mill director Nigel Armes discussed how they can help eliminate dust by using pre-loading sieves and not using tote bins, along with the use of cooling bins and curing stages. They also suggested that all farmers should prepare for winter in much more detail, making sure they have plenty of bin capacity in an emergency. Farms should be able to hold ten days' supply with good road access.

Since the workshop, Knowledge Transfer Manager Colin Stone has had a number of messages saying how much the group enjoyed it and that they can’t wait for the next workshop, on farrowing management, in October.
