As the sorghum harvest season approaches across northern New South Wales and Queensland, growers are reminded that a successful harvest doesn’t end with the combine - protecting grain post‑harvest is just as crucial as getting it safely off the paddock.
Sorghum is a high‑value summer crop with high demand in both the domestic and export markets. Once it’s cut and dried, it remains vulnerable — to rain, unpredictable weather, wind, pests and moisture infiltration — all of which can degrade quality and erode profit margins.
Sorghum gets poured into a grain bunker and covered with a grain bunker cover.
Secure Your Sorghum and Maximise Your Margin with a Grain Bunker Cover
That’s where premium, Australian-made grain bunker covers from Ellis and Sons Group turns loss into profit. Through our brand, Tail-Wind Tarps, they are manufactured for Australia’s harsh conditions and provide a durable, UV‑resistant, waterproof and pest‑proof barrier that keeps harvested sorghum dry and clean while awaiting transport or sale. High‑quality covers minimise spoilage from rain and humidity, suppress pest intrusion, and shield grain from damaging sunlight — preserving quality and market value throughout storage.
Beyond just protection, our grain bunker covers allow growers to secure, access and reseal storage areas efficiently and safely, with fumigation zips and our industry-leading “Grainsafe®” access point system optional features. Grainsafe® provides grain bunker access via waterproof, air-tight zippers that reseal by pulling the zipper shut again, reducing moisture ingress and leakage from wind flap damage. No more releasing and folding back the side clamps – and no more wind getting under the cover, turning it into a sail and jeopardising safety.
Our stock standard grain bunker covers can be ordered online at the click of a button. Custom sizes can also be made-to-order, and shipping is available Australia-wide.
