Marketing: In the case of hay Feed Central will begin to market the product after inspection. In the case most other products marketing will begin shortly after you have logged your product for sale with us.

Quality Control: Even when we have inspected product the supplier is still responsible to ensure that the quality of the hay is at least to the standard described.

Keeping In Touch: During peak periods it can be difficult to talk to everyone.

We aim to keep our overheads “lean and mean”, this way we can pass savings back to you.
