We love seeing growers, customers and communities take pride in their harvest. It’s the best time of the year.

From mountains of grain to the smallest harvest helpers, we’re celebrating the beauty – and reality – of everyday life in the grains industry.

GrainCorp’s 2023 Harvest Photo Competition launches today, with prizes of up to $1500 for the most creative and compelling photos shared.
