Grain Producers SA (GPSA) is turning up the volume for harvest with the release of its third and much-anticipated Harvest 100 playlist.
Packed with iconic anthems, country hits, and rock classics, this year’s playlist is the ultimate soundtrack to keep South Australia’s grain producers energised and entertained as they power through the busiest time of the year.
Whether it’s long hours in the paddock or late-night hauls, these tunes are guaranteed to set the perfect rhythm for those out harvesting.
Voted on by grain producers and community, the timeless classic by Creedence Clearwater Revival – Have You Ever Seen the Rain? has been voted as the number one song for the 2024 Harvest 100.
GPSA chief executive officer Brad Perry said this year’s playlist celebrates the spirit of hard work, resilience, and passion that drives South Australian grain producers.
“The 2024 Harvest 100 songs are nominated by grain producers for grain producers and there is no doubt the song choices reflect the challenging season and lack of rain in South Australia,” he said.
“Music has always been a big part of harvest time for our growers. Whether they’re in the header, the ute, or delivering to a silo site, the right track can lift the mood, keep growers focused, and even help them push through the toughest days.
“Our Harvest 100 initiative plays a role in supporting the mental health and wellbeing of South Australia’s grain producers and is about acknowledging the important role music plays in the day-to-day life of grain producers during harvest. It’s something we can all relate to, no matter where we are or what we’re doing.
“There’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking for something upbeat, nostalgic, or even a bit of fun to lift the energy when the going gets tough.”
