Testimonials - Detail

Based out on the North Norfolk coast with significant grain tonnage to sell, but with my considerable involvement with the tourism side of the business, I really appreciate the simplicity of presentation and sound impartial advice with the Agricole Report, plus the odd bit of humour occasionally to lighten the load.

I find it very refreshing to use a service which is completely unbiased and where all costs are agreed "up front". In the last few years, the use of options has certainly protected my turnover from the volatility in the market and I am extremely satisfied with the results.

I came across Jeremy’s services when he delivered a presentation to one of the discussion groups I’m involved in. I found his independent views very refreshing and see them as essential in ensuring our business maximises its returns. His service saves me time in that I no longer have to phone round numerous traders as this is what he does, only far more efficiently. This does not mean that I lose track of the markets as his excellent weekly newsletter keeps me abreast of what’s happening. Furthermore he has encouraged a far more strategic approach to our marketing such that we now have a strong risk management plan in place which means we spend less time guessing about when the price will peak and can get on with other work safe in the knowledge that we have a sensible base price and can benefit if market rises occur through the use of an option – which we have successfully done this year. Jeremy’s service therefore lets us leave the hard work to the expert and delivers us improved returns on our crops.

Agricole has been a beacon of hope to many farmers who have persevered in growing crops (as they believe they should) amidst all the uncertainty of globalisation and constraints by non-market forces including enviromental groups, politicians, etc.

Robert Bruce, Cambs

I thought the course was excellent and because it was quite intense it actually helped my overall understanding of the subject and certainly got me thinking about what we should be doing.

George Rees, Rees Farming, Bishops Waltham, Hampshire

Thank you for your advice and guidance on the use of options. In a volatile market, it is an extremely useful way of providing the farmer with a minimum price and no maximum price, and both this year and last year have been good examples where we have opened up the potential of fixed price forward grain sales to rising markets.

Nigel Pearson, Manor Farm, Caxton, Cambridge

Thank you for the excellant grain reports during the season - which help very much with marketing our grain. Knowing what has happened around the world, who is buying what and how other people's harvests are going is a very useful tool.

George & Dan Crook, Aughton Farm, Marlborough, Wilts

 

Agricole offers me 24/7 access to an unbiased overview of the markets in which I am interested, both in the long and short term. I am free to do as much or as little busines as I wish, and always feel that the service is provided to benefit my particular position. The information I receive has the farmer's interests at heart, and a solution is usually found to help me in what I am trying to acheive. The service is both professional and personal, and I would say that the service now lies at the heart of my grain marketing strategy.

Nick Rowsell, John Rowsell Ltd, Winchester

Thank you for organising and running your Options Training Course this spring. At the time I found it very stimulating and although I had used options, it gave me the confidence to buy them knowing exactly how they work. This in turn made it very easy for me to market our grain safe in the knowledge that I had locked in a profit but still able to take advantage of what have turned out to be huge price increases. Those two days have proved to the best and most lucrative use of my time in years.
