Cutting maize and grass over about 1000ha for 70 dairy farmsnear Hamiliton, Jeremy knows a thing or two about keeping the wheels turning when the pressure is on. In this episode he explains to us what a grass-to-grass service is. How he makes the numbers work when his forage harvester depreciate $1500a day and what it’s like employing UK farm kids to drive his tractors for the summer.
Growing up the son of UK agricultural machinery dealer through to now running his own contracting business in New Zealand, Jeremy has a wealth of knowledge about agriculture and business. He opens up to us about why the dealer is so important and why that was a massive part of swapping his fleet of New Hollands for Valtra's and Fendt's. We go into detail as to why they have fallen in love with Scandinavian design, and as to why the Valtra's have been the most reliable machinery he’s ever had on his business.
