The central changes will come through modifications to the revolutionary Grain Express system.

Grain Express is a virtual grain delivery system.

It was introduced last harvest to help CBH and the industry deal with the increased number of grain marketers looking to cart grain to port, through its storage and handling network.

CBH chief executive Dr Andy Crane said Grain Express Two would be an enhancement of the original system and was currently in the process of being finalised.

Specific changes will be unveiled over the next few months.

Dr Crane said he would communicate the changes to growers during a round of meetings with CBH chairman Neil Wandel in July and August, and through other methods including the media and letters to shareholders.

However, speaking to Farm Weekly recently, he gave an early preview of the benefits the modifications will bring to growers and other network users.

Of those alterations, improvements to the method of securing shipping berths for grain acquirers has already been flagged.

Dr Crane said other enhancements would be made to the way growers are invoiced for their freight costs.

Improvements to the LoadNet system, to assist growers with marketing their grain and making selling decisions would also be made.

Many growers expressed discontent over the method CBH used to invoice freight costs last season.

Instead of being hit with one lump sum, CBH will now spread freight charges out over several invoices, to ease financial pressure on growers.
