Firstly this is not an Indi /Trade argument, or a self promotion post!
I feel as an independent agronomist I give advise free of any commercial agenda, including being part of advise groups etc.
Most farmers look to use an indi to save money, is this always right?? If it is on the price of chemical alone then no MR Farmer don't change!
Its, easy to save farmers money through simply telling them to buy less product or buy cheaper, this is not always right as I learnt last year,(Bugger I came second!) Yield and quality is King and will always win out over cheap is best. (Clives Fungicide Trial)
I buy a lot of generic products and have never found a problem if sourced from a quality manufacturer.But please remember generic is generic and not cheap. As I am aware there are a lot of switched on farmers on this site, would an active comparison site be useful between all manufacturers?
Do we like the trade mixes? it might be good to be able to compare like for like!!
I am aware you will slag this post off but think before posting a response!
