Innovation Generation 2025 kicks off with CBH Metro Grain Centre Tour
Innovation Generation 2025 kicked off on July 22 with a tour of CBH Group's Metro and Australian Grain Centre in Forrestfield. Participants from across the country took part in the tour around the centre — one of four tours to WA businesses as part of the conference. Australian Grains Centre applied technology manager Ian Sproul led a tour around the facility, introducing participants to the centre's grain quality and protection systems. Sophie Forde from Darling Downs, Queensland, said she found the trust in a co-operative to handle grain in WA interesting, in comparison to independent handling processes interstate. 'It was definitely different because where I'm from there's a lot more on-farm storage that there is cooperative storage like CBH does,' she said. 'I thought was really interesting — the fact that a lot of farmers have that sort of trust in CBH to get them the right prices and sort of look after them in that way. 'You'll still see farmers talking to grain traders, but I feel the involvement is probably more independent that what there here — they're more collaborative.' Created in 1998, the CBH Metro Grain Centre is connected to the port in Fremantle by road and rail and Kwinana port. The centre has a storage capacity of 223,785 tonnes and holds 10 silo blocks. Innovation Generation is a three day conference for young people working in agriculture aged 18-35, and provides the opportunity to meet with agricultural industry leaders from across the country.

Family pays tribute to loving mum killed in WA train crash
The heartbroken family of a mother-of-three killed when her car was hit by a train in WA's Great Southern have launched a fundraiser to support her husband and children now left behind. Cailee Mansell, 29, died on Wednesday after the Mitsubishi Triton her family were driving in near Albany was hit by a train at a level crossing in Redmond. Ms Mansell, who was a passenger, suffered critical injuries and died at the scene. Police said the Mitsubishi was driving east on Redmond-Hay River Road and that the CBH grain train was travelling north. Ms Mansell's family — including her husband and three children, and who live in the region — all received minor injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment. Two men on the train were not injured, but were treated for shock. In a post on fundraising site GoFundMe, organisers said Ms Mansell was 'a light upon this earth' who was taken far too soon. 'Her sudden passing has left an unimaginable void in the hearts of all who knew her,' the post read. 'She leaves behind her heartbroken husband, Haydn and their three young children, who now face life without their mum's warmth, love, and guidance.

Credit: GoFund me 'Haydn is now navigating the difficult road ahead as a single parent, trying to provide emotional stability and practical care for his children during a time of deep grief. She also leaves behind her loving mother and best friend, Odette, who is grieving the unimaginable loss of her daughter. 'No amount can ever replace the love and presence of their mother, but with your help, we can ensure that this grieving family has the support and security they need in this incredibly difficult time.' The donations — which already amount to more than $50,000 — will go to funeral and memorial expenses, childcare and schooling needs and daily living costs. The crash closed road and rail around the site for more the 24 hours last week. Major crash officers on Thursday combed the scene as they began an investigation into how the tragic incident happened. A statement from freight train operator Aurizon on Thursday confirmed the fatal collision, saying it, along with CBH, would assist police with the investigation. 'Tragically, a passenger in the vehicle lost her life in the incident and we extend our condolences to her family and friends,' the statement read. 'This incident will be felt deeply by the local community, including our train drivers and employees who live and work locally.' It is understood the Australian Transport Safety Bureau will conduct an independent investigation. Ms Mansell's death is one of 120 so far this year on WA roads, in a horror toll putting the State on track for its worst 12 months for fatalities in more than a decade. The figure includes 62 metropolitan fatalities — a sharp rise on the historic trend for the year to date — and 58 on regional roads.

Redmond locals call for 'horrible' train crossing's safety upgrades after death of 29yo woman
Residents of a small town in Western Australia's south have called for improvements to rail safety at level crossings in the country after a woman was killed in a collision with a freight train. The 29-year-old woman was a passenger in a car that collided with a CBH grain train yesterday in the county town of Redmond, 400 kilometres south of Perth. A 39-year-old male driver and three children travelling in the vehicle suffered minor injuries. Resident Carly Pateman-Baker, who lives 50 metres from the train line, said the level crossing in Redmond was notorious for dangerous driving. "It's quiet out here, but there's quite a bit of traffic and nobody ever stops. [They do] a quick slowdown to look both ways and then keep going." Ms Pateman-Baker, who moved to Redmond about a year ago, said train drivers often sounded their horns when passing through the town to warn drivers off the crossing. "There are others that will sound it a few times before they hit the [crossing], and then they'll hit it again as they're leaving." Ms Pateman-Baker, who can feel the vibrations of trains before they reach the town centre, said there was a disparity in infrastructure across regional and built-up areas. "Normal train lines either have warning lights when the train's coming or the barrier that comes down moments before a train is even close to the [crossing]," she said. "[We need] something like that, especially for myself and my sister. We have three kids each so we always have cars full of kids." Aurizon, which operates CBH Group's grain haulage in WA, said none of their train crew were physically injured but were "very shaken" by the incident. A spokesperson for the company extended their condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. "This incident will be felt deeply by the local community, including our train drivers and employees who live and work locally," the statement read. Independent transport researcher Brett Hughes said about 80 per cent of rail crossings in Australia did not include lights or gates. Dr Hughes said while drivers had a responsibility to drive safely, self-managed or "passive crossing" presented a complex problem. "People underestimate the distance to a train and … underestimate the speed. "Most of us make mistakes from time to time and unfortunately it's just awful if that's a deadly mistake." Dr Hughes said a greater focus on rail safety was needed in regional areas. "We need to make sure that all the signage is the best possible and we need to make sure that people understand the hazards at level crossings." Ms Pateman-Baker said there had been an outpouring of sadness in the community for the family affected by the collision. "As a mum with kids between the ages of 12 and one I feel for the three children who were in that vehicle," she said. "That would scar them for life."
