Introduction to Farmeco UK Ltd
The cultivation and harvesting operations are handled by the contract farming company, Farmeco UK Ltd , of which farm owner, David Rose, is a co-founder and co-director. The contract farming company was established as a collaborative farming venture by four neighbouring farms, one of which is S Clarke Farms (Farmeco community Care farm).
Collectively the four individual farms together comprise a total farmed area of around 3000 acres (1,214hecatares). The individual farm owners act as Farmeco shareholding directors and pay a fee for contracting services. These fees effectively cover the company’s fixed costs such as labour and machinery. Farmeco implements the farm operations on the ground, and also is now supplying variable costs including inputs such as seeds and agrochemicals carring out marketing outputs such as grain and oilseeds.
A decade of Farmeco developments
Over the past ten years, farm mechanisation and establishment methods have changed immeasurably. During this time we have been following the fortunes of Notts-based Farmeco, which has long been one of the first businesses to embrace the latest systems.
Farmeco plans a controlled-traffic future
As Farmeco progresses into its next development phase, the company does so without its managing director who has been at the helm through nearly two decades of change. Before leaving to take up another post, Keith Challen talked to profi about the Notts farming business’s current system.
