YAGRO, who are paying their wages? it is so unclear, but to be fair they have asked to meet up to discuss how they do the job, I am meeting them in early March.. Brisel, I do feel Rotam could well be slightly different if they give it some thought, Richard.I buy Rotam stuff via a buying group and delivered by a distributor as usual. No real savings by going direct IME
I use Boilerjuice, and I think they are OK , not amazing,Just joined up. Will be interesting to see how it goes.
By the way Rotam and Boilerjuice were mentioned previously. Does anybody use them for price savings?

I do like the idea but is it sustainable if funding is required, and if your right £400k is a lot of money !!I believe they have raised £400K in funding, ex Syngenta chap and a farmer from Norfolk?

Worldwide, would this require more funding if so is this trading model correct, I do hope so but question it?They're hoping to raise more money later in the year to go worldwide with it.
Email last night saying Procam have pulled out as a supplier. Seems very short sighted on their behalf as I'm convinced this is the future regarding input purchasing. Prices on yagro can be very competitive and it's a very efficient way of quoting and ordering inputs. I was skeptical at first but so far am impressed.
Every little helps. Saved nearly £1000 this week through yagro. That's straight of the bottom line otherwise. Some prices were higher some were low but of course shopping around makes a difference!
Ag-chem makers do not want to supply their product to anyone at discounted prices. Their solution to this kind of tom-foolery is just to make less of the stuff and let buying groups hunt around for people who have over-ordered the stuff.
Being in the business of supplying massive volumes of ag-chem and basically moving money around for no margin is a fools game, you wonder why a distributor won't want to get involved?
In the world of commodity markets you aren't going to make any real difference trying to buy a can of chemical £10 cheaper than the next man. Your only way to make big savings is to do proper agronomy, not blanket treatments, and think carefully about how you establish and provide nutrition to crops, along with your machinery and staffing policy.
How will you possibly compete with the world market with ever reducing chemical options, and hunting out a few grand saving against people whose chemical bill will be maybe 20 or 30% of yours is beyond me.
