Haulier recommendations?

We are running very short of silage and are finding getting hold of organic silage within hauling distance for ourselves nigh on impossible. So does anyone have any recommendations for a haulier? I've found some silage for sale in North Devon - we're near Exeter.

If you contact your nearest livestock market, they should have a list of suitable people or should know someone.

Try Sastak (http://www.sastak.com/). I don't whether they are nationwide or just midlands but worth a call. They organise everything from getting forage, fertiliser, transport, to help on the farm and hiring machinery. Even though they take a commission, I have found them really good.

Organic silage must be a nightmare to find, and expensive.

is being organic worth it?

Organic silage has been a nightmare to find and is very expensive

Time will tell whether it's financially worth it - the initial grants have certainly helped!
