Saxon Agriculture - Seed Delivery problems !!!

[Fuzzy]

Anyone having any issues with seed deliveries from this company ???

 

[Brisel]

My old farm is still waiting for bean seed from them. It’s for a seed contract!

What are you waiting for?

I had problems with wheat seed from them being delivered. It was supposed to come beginning of September but came 28th September. Next door farmer had similar issues with them. I'm now trying to paddle the wheat in on heavy ground.

All seed merchants have been having problems with germination this year, and are waiting for it to be released. We got ours from Dalton Seeds yesterday, having been promised it for weeks ago, guess it will all be coming out soon

this. The derogation was only approved on the 14th October so beans below 80% germ couldn’t be delivered on farm before then and most are borderline or below germination. 2020, it’s just the year that keeps giving right until the end.

Why is the germination so low,are they over yeared seed,our fss are 97%

My over yeared seed is 10x better germ than the new stuff , had some c1 grafton that I put on at 2cwt an acre and it's still poor in comparison

I thought our C1 Grafton had completely failed at one point but it’s come eventually. Bought this year

Does it get 10% cheaper then?

Make sure you spec a minimum germ on your contract, and a delivery date "time is of the essence" clause. That will focus their minds.

 

[tr250]

Does it get 10% cheaper then?

I would hope so because the grower will certainly be paid less

 

[Steevo]

Does it get 10% cheaper then?

Probably more expensive....higher demand and lower supply don’t you know!

Can’t see beans being worth any more next year as a result of the same though...

 

[Devil's advocate]

I've found Quantil seeds a hidden gem. Very good service.

I ordered seed last May/ June I knew by then that yield would be low and that seed crops would not produce extra seed
I said must be available to collect 18 September as I wanted to drill 20 onwards
got a call 16 sept Ready for you to collect We were still combining and the week end was approaching
collected 21st drilled by 25th
I had over yeared seed to start drilling with
we need to deal with companies that deliver the goods
all bags 1 tonne and held together with no problems
