 In the beginning work was all done manually. The “wheat lumpers” as the men were called, carried the bags on their backs and walked, stepping and building until the stack was 20 bags high.  Each bag as it was taken from the farmer’s wagon had to be weighed and entered into the “tally” book.  In 1925 an elevator was procured, (designed and made by East Bros of Mallala) and this made the work much easier and quicker.
-In about 1950 Clem Wasley a local farmer, and Martin Richter of Reeves Plains, thought up a scheme to purchase a weighbridge.  To finance the project every farmer  was asked to contribute to the project in proportion to the amount of grain they delivered. Not one farmer rejected the idea and all gave it their whole hearted support. One “lumper” known as “Big Syd” (S. Wait) could carry a bag of grain under each arm and one on his back – a demonstration of strength not a loading procedure!

-Local men found employment with the railways and worked on the approach to and from the Korunye area. It was a welcome source of income for the local men as the 1913 – 1914 drought had left many in straightened circumstances.
