🚨 Important Warning – Agricultural Burglaries on the Rise 🚨

Just a heads-up to everyone: there’s been a wave of agricultural burglaries happening across the country.

Last night, two masked men broke into our yard and tried to steal power tools and anything else they could grab before the police arrived. Thankfully, they were interrupted and ran off.

📣 Police have confirmed this is part of a wider pattern, so please take extra precautions:
•Lock up sheds, garages, and outbuildings securely
•Don’t leave tools or equipment lying around
•Report any suspicious activity immediately

Please share this post and stay alert.

Great to see both of our John Deere 9900i’s out chopping some grass🌱

Both 9900i’s are equipped with the highest spec technology for silage harvesting including Harvestlab. With Harvestlab we can provide instant measurement during harvest of our customers’ grass including:

• Dry Matter
• Dry Yield
• Crude Protein
• Crude Fibre
• NDF
• ADF
• Sugar
• Crude Ash

This allows our customers to have a detailed analysis of their fields and forage instantly.

This customer saw great results in his forage analysis with the early grass producing high sugar content levels🐄🥛
