RICKERBY OPEN EVENT 31 • APR/MAY 2020 Maximising Crop Value Rickerby supply an extensive selection of CLAAS products and operate across eight branches covering Lancashire, Cumbria, Northumberland, The Borders, Durham and part of Dumfries. Rickerby has recently celebrated 140 years in business which says it all about their commitment and service to the farming community. ANDY Lanczak, Sales and Product Technical Support has been with Tama 21 years. Coming from a farming background Andy has an understanding of what is required in crop baling and has a good knowledge of balers. Tama and Andy have supported Rickerby for the last 10 years and has developed a first class rela- tionship with the Rickerby Parts staff across their eight branches. This enables him to be in the best position to offer advice on crop baling solutions directly with farmers and contractors no matter what baler machine they may have. Andy attends the Rickerby show held at the beginning of March every year at the main site in Carlisle. Tama has a trade stand there which displays their crop baling solutions and Andy is on hand throughout each show to answer questions and offer advice. Getting the crop baling solution right first time will ensure a better kept crop and keeps downtime, waste and costs to a minimum, ensuring maximum value from your crops. The saying “any twine will do” just doesn’t cut it anymore. Crop, knotters, balers, and bale density have all changed over the years and so must the crop baling products needed to meet and exceed the requirements of farmers and contractors. The same applies with netwrap with “you get what you pay for” ringing very true. Andy has never understand why farmers spend so much of their valuable time and money feeding, tending and harvesting their crop, only to then waste all that hard work right at the most important time because of a few pence, false advice and not really knowing the cost per bale. Rickerby and Andy combined have provided over the years a service to help you make the best decision for your crops, and they intend to do so for many more years to come!
