New farmer in Devon needs help

[Grockle]

Hi I am set to take on a tenancy in mid Devon area just wondering if there is anyone from that area who could help me with contractor suggestions and supplier suggestions thanks In advance .richard

Tell everyone a bit about what you intend to farm, cattle, sheep or what and I'm sure you'll get lots of replies

Just take some of them with a large pinch of salt and a sense of humour....

I am after some one to do my silage ploughing and drilling it's a mixed beef and cereals about 200 acres grass and 350 of cereals near exeter

Hi I would recommend steve Yeandle as a contractor he does most jobs

@Devon James for forage wagon

 

[jondear]

Troy Stuart big contractor near Exeter does everything.

 

[Jerry]

I am in the same area and recommend @devonjames. He has been drilling with his Claydon now for a number of years and we get good results. Suits the soil in the area.

He also runs a 6F plough and Colombo drill that we use after parsnips/swedes.

Has a pottinger forage wagon as mentioned above.

Good attention to detail and great family to work with.

(Is that worth a discount James? ;-) )

Actually that is still a form of communication in Devon.
