We offer a number of options as part of our comprehensive and personalised customer service.

Soil Sampling / pH Mapping

Our dedicated LimeX team offers a professional soil sampling & pH mapping servicewith optional nutrient testing across the UK. Managed by our FACTS-qualified staff, this provides an accurate basis for subsequent technical recommendations that take into account the specific crop rotation and requirements of each individual enterprise. Soil samplers are trained to high standards, offering ‘field walked’ or ‘ATV driven’ options.

Field maps assist hauliers to locate tipping points and ensure spreading contractors have the specific ‘field by field’ detail they require for overall or part treatment.

Delivery

Being part of British Sugar means we can offer some of the best delivery rates in the UK from established hauliers, experienced in handling LimeX.

Alternatively, we are happy to facilitate self-collection by customers’ own hauliers.

Backloading

An alternative option, not just for sugar beet growers, is to take advantage of the “backloading” opportunity from our factories during the sugar beet processing season (September through to February). We can arrange back-loading directly with hauliers resulting in a very effective saving.
