Crop Growing

We grow a large quantity of cereal crops each year including organic oats for human consumption, common oats, wheat and barley. These crops are stored in our new CMI-certified grain store and delivered throughout the South West with our own articulated transport fleet. The straw is baled and delivered to local farmers.

We grow forage maize and organic crops on contract for local farmers.

Cleaning records of combine harvesters are available when changing from non-organic to organic crops.

Agricultural Contracting

We provide a complete service from plough to harvest with the latest technology. Our agricultural machinery includes:

-   Combine harvesters.
-   High capacity forage harvesters.
-   Umbilical slurry pumping up to a distance of 1.5 miles.
-   A fleet of up to 20 4WD tractors with implements covering all seasons.

Lime and sea sand form a large part of our tillage programme. We supply and spread large tonnages throughout the season. pH testing is carried out in-house providing recommendations for application rates to customers.
