HarveyHughes has an established base for providing management consultancy to working farmers. Our team offers services to these farmers at all levels, from supporting the farmer in the daily decision making process through to full management of strategic issues facing businesses.
HarveyHughes specialises in all areas of day to day management of your dairy herd, including fertility and feeding advice. Specialist consultants can handle longer term aspects to include monthly dairy costings, service monitoring of margins, improved utilisation of feed/forage and effective marketing of your milk.
Arable Crop and Grassland Management
HarveyHughes can advise you in the management of your arable crops grass, maize and other forage systems, to maximise yield output and returns. Walking your fields, we can assess the quantity/quality of your sward and advise you on improved grassland management. FACTS qualified fertiliser plans are prepared in line with the latest Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ) directives. We also assess forage conservation methods for improved results in the clamp and in the field.
Agreements and Collaborations
HarveyHughes is versed in the establishment and operation of farmer co-operatives for both buying and selling. We already co-ordinate a number of farmer trading and study groups.
We are able to bring farmers closer together by matching each of their requirements, be it share farming, contracting arrangements or licences. We have the expertise and skills to negotiate proposals, to organise the arrangements and to manage the relationship throughout its term. The agreements are tailor-made to suit your requirements, ensuring that everybody achieves their aim.
