According to the pair around 23,000 tonnes of canola and 36,000 tonnes of wheat were delivered to the silos during the 2020 harvest.
"Thirteen dedicated staff members were able to keep the silos open and the trucks moving steadily most days, weather allowing," they said.
"The silos and bunkers were all at capacity. Grain was also stored on farm and delivered to other facilities in the area making the harvest even bigger.
"Thanks to all involved in last year's harvest for their consideration and cooperation," they wrote.
