Harvest time

Harvesting is the most rewarding part of our farming. All the hard work, dedication, knowledge, patience, and discipline of our farmers is paid off in the form of high quality food produce.

Each crop has an ideal harvest time which we measure by the amount of moisture in the grains. For the most part we start harvesting when the moisture in the grains is less than 20%, except for maize, which we start harvesting when it is below 30%. The ideal moisture to store the grains in the silo is around 13 - 14%.

At our farm in Brazil, we can harvest 120 Ha of soya in a day. This requires six GPS driven harvesters and around 18 employees!

Once the crops have been harvested, they are stored on the silos. Maruque Farm produces a total of 38,500 tonnes of produce.
