Geocache Description:


From here you can see the Kyancutta silos. If you would like a brief history of the silo systems on Eyre Peninsula, read on. Cache is a bison, BYO pen.

In 1954 The South Australian Wheat and Woolgrowers’ Association established the South Australian Co-Operative Bulk Handling Limited (SACBH) company - a farmer owned company. This was the first time that South Australia moved away from handling bags of grain to a bulk handling system. SACBH established a series of silos to handle bulk grain along a rail corridor to move the grain to deep water ports. Warramboo silos was one of the silo systems established on Eyre Peninsula with grain being transported by rail to Port Lincoln.

In 2000 SACBH changed it's structure from co-operative to a hybrid model AusBulk-UGH. This comprised a public company AusBulk Ltd, which was 51% owned by the grower-owned private company United Grower Holdings (UGH). By 2004 growing pressure by members and outside interests saw the company merge with ABB (Australian Barley Board), which was privatised in 1999. In 2007 ABB was restructured resulting in the loss of grower control over the silo system and in 2009 it was acquired by Viterra. In 2013 Glencore acquired Viterra, but kept the branding in place.
