To achieve the optimum quality and yield of a crop, it is critical for farmers to cut their crops when they are ready. Any delay in harvesting can severely reduce income and removing any obstacle to completing harvest is essential.
Unfortunately, harvest time doesn’t always coincide with the best weather conditions or when consumers can take the product and farmers do not always have the facilities to move and store their grain. Dewing Grain provides the best service available to the local farming community and to the expected guaranteed quality that end users demand. We use our different locations locally to accommodate grain excess.
Farmers don’t have to rely on consumer need to harvest, move and store their produce as we can provide our superior facilities for their benefit. All our storage facilities are TASCC registered to ensure we meet the feed and food safety requirements.

Aylsham (Aylsham Grain)
Andrew Dewing is the managing director for this farmers’ co-operative store at Aylsham. Once delivered to store, the crops are managed by the Dewing Grain team, from testing the specification of inbound and outbound commodities, to providing bespoke products and blends. Currently, all storage space at Aylsham is taken up. If at any time in the future space becomes available we will make it known.

Yaregrain has recently finished a £1.9 million building project at Cantley which encompasses an advanced processing unit (APU) and has increased storage capacity to 23,000 tonnes. Dewing Grain are the sole marketing agents for the site where you can store wheat, barley, OSR and peas/beans. Like Aylsham Grain, all storage space is now sold.

This site at Egmere was originally a grain merchants store which was taken over by the Holkham Estate 20 years ago. Dewing Grain has an exclusive contract with Holkham to maximise the use of the store and create premium prices for grain delivered to the site. The estate fills a significant volume of the storage and Dewing Grain fills each bay to capacity. Recent investments via the estate have significantly upgraded the facilities with a new entrance and weighbridge. The east hanger is futures registered with capacity of 13,000t, the north hanger, bays and blending plant all store malting barley.
