Unload weighbridge charges right now…

Throw out weighbridge charges. Thats one piece of cracking advice the NFU has for growers keen to make grain contracts work to their advantage. In many cases, it could save £10/load.

After years of quiet pressure on the grain trade such a bold stance from the NFU is more than welcome. Contracts exist to serve both parties, but have been used by the trade to penalise growers far too often.

The Sellers Checklist devised by the NFU, and backed by the HGCA, UKASTA and others in the grain chain, helps balance that relationship.

Well done NFU.
