Godde’s Grain & Fertilizer is a fourth-generation family farming business supplying fertilizer to local farmers and purchasing grain during harvest. The operation runs a continuous logistics cycle: trucks transport grain to Melbourne throughout the year and return with fertilizer for regional farms.
During harvest season, machinery and transport equipment often run 24 hours a day. Any mechanical failure can quickly impact productivity and income.
As Andrew Godde explains, when harvesting equipment stops, the financial impact can escalate rapidly.
“You’ve spent your money on your crop all year and it’s vulnerable to the weather. We like to get it off as quick as we can.”
Downtime during harvest doesn’t just delay work — it risks losing valuable crop and disrupting tight seasonal schedules.
