This website and technology has been built by farmers for farmers, to provide you with an opportunity to add additional revenue streams to your business. RuralContractor.co.uk was recently featured in the Mail on Sunday, see RuralContractor.co.uk/Press for more information.

        

 

It is 100% free for Contractors and Farmers to use and REGISTER.

 

So how does it work? Here is an example;

If a farmer, William Graze, ploughs 300 acres / year and owns a tractor and plough we believe he is operating under capacity and that William could potentially plough an extra 60 acres / year as a contractor.

RuralContractor.co.uk allows William to advertise his services for free to other farmers, he can set the price and services he has to offer allowing him flexibility to earn extra money as a contractor – if he agreed to plough 60 acres / year for a local farmer he could feasibly earn;

• (60 acres) x (£15 / acre) = £900 / year.
• Over a 10 year period this would earn William’s business £9,000.

John Smith is a farmer who does not need to invest in a plough on his light land; however he does require the use of a plough on 60 acres of heavy clay. John can search for free on RuralContractor.co.uk to find William Graze to do this ploughing, they can message or call each other and negotiate the price and time for the work to be completed.

We see this arrangement as “win win” and the online solution is an excellent mechanism for searching and finding local services. This requires both the farmer and contractor to register to use the service but don’t worry it is 100% free with full access for both parties!
