SAVINGS ON CLAYDON EQUIPMENT
FOR FRAM FARMERS MEMBERS
Exclusive rebates on the full range
of Claydon equipment (www.
claydondrills.com) are now available
to members of Fram Farmers, the
UK’s foremost farmers co-operative
(www.framfarmers.co.uk).
The new incentive programme will
allow Fram Farmers’ 1250 members,
who collectively farm more than 350,000
hectares across 39 counties, to benefit
from financial savings on all new Claydon
products. Under the terms of the deal they
will have unique access to manufacturer’s
rebates on the full range of Claydon
patented strip seeding drills, Straw
Harrows and Cambridge Rolls.
“We are delighted to be working closely
with such a large, well-respected farmers’
co-operative to extend the range of benefits
which they are able to offer,” states Charlie
Eaton, Claydon’s UK & Ireland Sales
Manager. “Fram Farmers members are
typically progressive, forward-thinking

farmers who appreciate the benefits
of harnessing the latest technology to
enhance the productivity and financial
performance of their businesses. The range
of Claydon products will help them to
reduce production costs significantly while
at the same time benefiting agronomic
performance and ultimately increasing both
yields and profitability.”
Simon Scott, Machinery Buyer for Fram
Farmers, adds: “This is good news for
our members, many of whom are existing
Claydon customers and have given us
very positive feedback on the company,
its products and service. Being able to
provide members with preferential rates
on the Claydon range will further enhance
the benefits available through our unique
Machinery Scheme. Each year we purchase
over £11 million worth of agricultural
equipment on behalf of members, making it
the largest and most successful of its type
in the UK.”

Claydon Drills was started by Suffolk
farmer Jeff Claydon in response to falling
cereal prices and lower farming profits.
In 2002 he developed the company’s
patented Strip Seeding System, which
enables farmers to establish crops far
more cost effectively, with significant
agronomic and environmental benefits.
Now used all over the world, in all
soil and crop conditions, it enables
farmers to obtain above-average yields
from their crops without needing to
use unnecessary and expensive precultivations.
