Mortimers specialise in purchasing commodities direct from farm and supply local malsters, feed and flour mills.
We have excellent relationships with local and national consumers and have access to export facilities, the pet food industry as well as national compounders, millers and malsters.
Grain can be collected from farm, or can be delivered for storage and drying. A well equipped laboratory ensures that all commodities can be tested and graded quickly and effectively.
Forward Contracts are available for most commodities. We trade Assured as well as Non-Assured grain. Collection from the farm is organised from one of our wagons or carefully chosen outside hauliers. A fixed wheel 20 tonner is available where necessary.
