All contractors who have attended an Alkalage training session organised by Volac International, together with those with a minimum two years experience making processed urea treated wholecrop, have been highlighted on the company's web site.

"While farmers are responsible for growing a crop of quality cereals destined for processed urea treated wholecrop, it's over to contractors to manage the crop's harvesting operations, including cutting, primary processing, preservation and clamping," explains Volac International's Doug McLeish. "Supplying a list of trained and experienced contractors will help farmers to ensure their crop realises its full potential value and subsequently contributes to reduced feed costs, improved herd performance and health."

For those contractors who have been unable to attend the training courses, Volac International's staff will be available throughout the harvesting season to help bring them up to speed with the Alkalage system.
