Winter Feed
The cereal market has seen quite a drop since its highs this summer which has in turn lowered the price of many compound feeds. This may be a good time to secure fixed priced contracts for winter feeds before another adverse reaction in the market.
Sugar Beet
This season’s Sugar Beet pellets are now available both ex our Soutdown Store or direct delivered on artics.
Mobile Mill & Mix
The drop in cereal prices also makes processing your own grown crops financially better than some bought in feeds. Please enquire about the practicalities of hiring our Mobile Mill & Mix lorry to process your own feed.
Grain Infestation
As always, grain stored for more than a couple of months is prone to grain mite & various grain beetles. This is worsened if there is no air being puffed through the heap or if it’s not dried to below 15% moisture. We are happy to come & test your corn (in the South East) so please ask.
Fibrophos
The Autumn spreading has gone very well. We are now programming deliveries for spring cereal seed beds & grassland.
Phosgrow & PincK
We are pleased to announce new products from the Fibrophos fertiliser camp which we can supply delivered and spread. There are a few grades available including 0-16-16, 0-21-3 & 0-30-1 and are all very competitively priced. 40% Calcium CaO helps give it a pH of 10.5 and a good measure of the main trace elements are making this rather attractive against bagged 0-24-24.
Fertiliser
Unlike most other markets, Nitrogen, Phosphate & Potash prices have remained steady. Much of the Nitrogen is already sold & shippers seem hesitant to book big cargoes for fear of a uncertain market. As always, we recommend you have at least your 1st dressing on farm by Nov, Dec or Jan so that you’re not beholdant to a delayed spring delivery when you need it.
Granulated Lime
Soil pH imbalance is often the biggest factor in lack of nutrient uptake & stunted plant growth. Spreading granulated lime is the most reactive & cost effective way of correcting acidic soils.
Farm Input Finance
We have available a brand new Farm Input Finance facility. Since the demise of previous schemes several years ago there has been a demand to fill the void for unsecured loans. F.I.F is a breath of fresh air as it is beautifully simple to obtain a quote from the calculator on our web site & then apply by submitting your proposal online.
