District Coordinator Gerard James said they range from machinery use and dry lightning through to abandoned camp fires.
The largest fire at Goodnight near Wakool Junction Rd involved approximately 125 hectares of unharvested grain.
The firefighting effort was supported by 10 local RFS brigades, 10 CFA units and three aircraft.
Crews had the incident contained by 8pm Tuesday evening.
Some smoke is still visible close to the scene due to burning timber, as well as other fires across the zone.
Landholders are reminded to ensure machinery is in serviceable condition and a suitable fire appliance is on hand to minimise the risk of escaped fire.
Also, anyone undertaking harvest operations are reminded to check local weather conditions against the Grain Harvest Guide.
