RAMSAK, The Ring of Agricultural Machinery in Sussex and Kent, which covers the South East of England.
Farmer and Landowners have always been good neighbours to one another but the idea of a co-operative to help share farming resources has emerged more recently. In the late 1980s, groups of farmers all over the country set up self help organisations that today we call ‘Machinery Rings’.
RAMSAK covers the counties of Kent, East and West Sussex, and Eastern Surrey, although we do have Members in other parts of the country as well. The Ring’s computer system presents the work co-ordinator with data starting with the nearest supplier. Using this system minimizes travelling time and is the fairest and most effective way to apportion work.
Although the core business will always be centred around improved utilization of farm machinery and skilled labour, RAMSAK has continually developed the services on offer from Members and the above only forms part of the wide range of services and products available to Members. It is hoped to provide a one-stop shop for all agricultural and rural services in time.
RAMSAK are the main organisers of Agri-Expo (SE) THE Land based Industry Show for the South East, in conjunction with Kent Agricultural Society, Media Partner South East Farmer Magazine.
In our site, you'll see many of the rural services that RAMSAK have on offer.
