A laboratory technician in a bright orange high-visibility shirt operates a PerTen grain testing device in a modern grain quality assessment facility. The woman adjusts controls on the cream-colored analytical equipment, which sits among an array of specialized laboratory instruments used for evaluating wheat samples. Black equipment modules and additional testing devices fill the workbench, creating a functional workspace dedicated to grain analysis. The setting captures the critical quality control processes that underpin the New South Wales grain industry, particularly in the productive Riverina Region during the summer wheat harvest period. Documentation and testing protocols are posted on the wall above the equipment, ensuring standardized procedures are followed. Power leads snake down from overhead outlets, connecting the sophisticated array of instruments necessary for comprehensive grain sampling and testing. The scene embodies the essential intersection of technology and agriculture, where women in agricultural science play vital roles in maintaining grain quality standards. The laboratory environment, though clinical, represents the culmination of months of farming work—transforming field-grown wheat into precisely graded, market-ready commodities. Natural light from the right illuminates the workspace, highlighting the professional concentration required for accurate grain analysis in this important grain depot facility.
