Barnes Ag Contract Harvesting

22/10/2026

We’ve ran these concaves for the last 3 years extremely durable. We bought them mainly for lentil crops, we can spin the rotor faster witch means we can push the headers harder witch then gets more done per hour. But we leave them in for nearly everything. 
We have them in all our machines

We’ve been in the socials a bit lately but it’s for a good cause. There are a lot of other harvest contractors and farmers that are in a worse position this year, waiting on skilled staff. We are lucky with the number of machines we run, it is easier to find enough crew. There are larger operations that simply can’t get enough workers locally and massive visa holdups that are putting businesses at risk. As a member of the Australian Custom Harvesters, Inc. and state representative for SA, we are advocating our member’s voice.

Mr Barnes found there were more than 50 outstanding visas just from a handful of harvest contractors who responded to his call out through Australian Custom Harvesters.

A record-breaking SA harvest could go to waste as federal visa delays and new working holiday ballot rules threaten to leave farmers without the skilled operators they desperately need. 🔗 DETAILS: https://bit.ly/46tZgLp
