About Us

HARD WORK & PERSEVERANCE

'Trading & Transport' is how it started

From the beginning Allen (AW) was driven to provide a service. This all started with buying local chaff and grain, transporting it to the Riverland, cutting stumps and returning them back to the Mid North.

Over time AW was able to purchase his own truck, and through a willingness to work hard, the rest is history.

Allen and Doris Vater started AW Vater & Co in 1957. From there they began to grow the business through supplying goods and services throughout the rural community on the foundation of honesty, reliability and integrity.

Grain & Transport is a division of AW Vater & Co who also has a chemical and merchandise division with branches at Saddleworth and Kadina. AW Vater & Co’s current directors are Kim Vater along with his sisters Jill Vater and Tania Nicholls.

The proposed Northern Transmission Project (NTx) will see giant 500kV towers dotted right on top of some of SA's most reliable farming land.

With ElectraNet's "community feedback" deadline looming - Mid North communities have rallied to make sure land owners and community members from Eudunda, Saddleworth, Riverton, right through to Freeling, Hamley Bridge and Two Wells, have a chance to be heard.

A special information evening will be held tonight in Saddleworth, ahead of a series of community consultations across the region.

Riverton grain grower, Andrew Bruce, whose reliable cropping land sits right on one of the proposed corridors, is urging people to know what's being proposed and how to have their say.
