GHMS
Grain Harvest Management Scheme
The Grain Harvest Management Scheme (the Scheme) recognises the difficulty of in-field loading a bulk commodity such as grain, with varying moisture contents and densities, to within an accurate weight tolerance.
The Scheme is designed to alleviate some of these uncertainties by allowing Scheme participants to take advantage of certain “flexibilities” set above normal regulation mass limits when field loading bulk commodities.
The Scheme will function each year from 1 July to 30 June the following year. The Scheme is designed to benefit the grain industry, the community and the road transport industry.
Overall, the intent of the Scheme is to allow for an efficient grain harvest and to protect the road infrastructure through eliminating gross overloading by appropriate administrative procedures and compliance activities.
Participation in the Scheme is not restricted to farmers and is open to anyone making deliveries to approved receival points during the harvest.
