In Dwain's Daily newsletter yesterday, he mentioned the Farm Tender "Fert Group". This is made up of members who requested to be kept up to date with Fertiliser market prices. After a short break, we have started sending out the Fert text on a Tuesday instead of the original day, Monday.

In addition to the weekly update, any other deals that we come across for any Inputs are sent to those that have subscribed to this Fert Group.

If you would like to be kept up to date with any Fert Buying Group developments or to be added to this weekly update, please send a text to Ellen on 0418 137 224 with "Please add".

Here is a copy of the text that was sent out this week:
