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.
Loads of threads over the years here have suggested farmers work together to change this but loyalty and apathy are strong in UK agriculture so its mostly just noise and no action ! ............ Well here is you chance to maybe actually make a positive change and shift power back to us .......the farmers !

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 crop protection products. Despite every other buying group being able to offer product, we have struggled.
For some reason the existing supply chain doesn’t seem to like the idea of Farmdeals. While we see ourselves as just another buying group, the supply clearly does not.
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:
Speaking to them and inspired by what FBN have achieved, we have secured our own direct supply.
So the exciting news is that In 2023 we will have limited availability of most of the main generics used and DIRECTLY from manufactures . It is our hope that this will come with game changing prices, with a target of 20% below the average market price. To achieve this though we need our members help, a chance for farmers to work together to change the market in their favour.
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.
