I think most TFF users more than understand the levels of financial pressure we are likely to experience next season. Inputs prices are rising seemingly daily and the margins some suppliers have come to expect are no longer sustainable.
Farmdeals is trying to help.
Grassland Product Survey - https://agriwebmedia.wufoo.com/forms/r8ydwq1kgnnad/
In its first year of building the UK’s first digital buying group Farmdeals has secured many reputable suppliers in not all but quite a lot of areas of the UK for products such as fuel, fertilisers and feed. What has been disappointing to date is that we have been unable to supply a full range of grassland products. Despite every other buying group being able to offer product, we have struggled, but its getting better.
Disruption to bring better price to farmers requires lateral thinking. Seeing how FBN in the USA have solved a similar issue has shown us there are other ways. An article by AgWeb in the USA about FBN shows how much things can change, it’s an interesting read: https://www.agweb.com/news/crops/soybeans/exclusive-how-did-fbn-do-impossible-and-source-glyphosate-2022-it-was-costly
Speaking to FBN and inspired by what they have achieved, we have secured our own direct supply of a few products including some grassland like Minstrel (200g Fluroxpyr).
The best prices will come if we can commit to volume, to do this we need an idea of what FarmDeals members (and those of you still to join!) might need. Filling out our form and estimating what you think you might use in 2023 will help us get the best possible deal for you.
It doesn’t need to be completely accurate, and we are not asking for any commitment. But those that fill out the form will have priority on the product volume we secure at the lowest possible price for 2023.
