Feed grains, bought and sold properly.
We trade feed wheat, barley, oats and maize, alongside pulses and a range of feed ingredients and co-products. Buyers range from national mills and feed compounders to livestock farms buying a load at a time.
Every trade is written against a clear specification, so what arrives on the weighbridge is what was agreed at the desk. Since 2008 that discipline has kept the same buyers and sellers coming back season after season.
A desk that answers, a load that arrives.
- Specification honoured. Goods are described as they are and traded to the agreed spec, with any analysis supplied where required.
- Supply that holds. UK growers and overseas partners mean we can cover a position when the domestic market tightens.
- Paperwork handled. Movement documentation and assurance paperwork are arranged by people who deal with it every week.
Formats & terms
- Bulk: full artic loads tipped or blown, direct to mill or farm.
- Tote bags: a practical middle ground for yards without bulk storage.
- Bagged: palletised smaller bags for stores and mixed holdings.
- Contract: forward positions across the season, priced and scheduled up front.
- Spot: prompt loads when you need cover this week, not next month.
The grain desk range.
Feed wheat & barley
The backbone of most rations: sound, dry feed grains bought against specification and moved in full loads.
Oats & maize
Energy and fibre options for compounders and home mixers, sourced at home or imported as the market dictates.
Pulses
Beans and peas as protein alternatives, traded for feed compounding and on-farm rations.
Ingredients & co-products
Feed ingredients and co-products that stretch a ration budget, supplied in bulk, tote or bagged form.
