Services 

Crop Protection Chemicals

At Charles R. Wynne Ltd., we have direct access to arable and grassland chemicals from leading manufacturers and distributors. These chemicals are available at both of our locations: Athy, Co. Kildare, and Bridgemills, Tullow.

Agronomy and Technical Advice 

Our experienced agronomists are IASIS qualified and actively participate in a Continuous Professional Education (CPE) program. We offer a comprehensive crop walking and technical service for a variety of crops, including cereals, grass, OSR, peas, beans, maize, and beet. All our crop recommendations adhere to cross-compliance legislation and best practice guidelines.

Grain Storage and Trading options 

We also offer customers the option to store their grain with us, whether for their own future use or for selling at a later date. Storing grain can be advantageous, as it allows customers to benefit from potential rises in the grain market.

For those who wish to use their own grain, we provide several options:

  • As part of a balanced coarse ration
  • As processed toasted flaked grain
  • As part of a toasted cereal mixture
  • As whole, dry grain ex-store

Both storage and processing options are subject to our drying and storage charges. For more information, please contact either of our branches.


Grain Sourcing and Purchasing 

When producing coarse rations for retail, the quality of grain is of paramount importance. At Charles R. Wynne Ltd., we prioritize sourcing locally grown, high bushel-weight grain for our manufacturing facility. This grain is not only used in our own production but also re-traded to other industry manufacturers and supplied as whole grains to pig facilities.

Our commitment to quality extends to the farmers we work with, all of whom are IGAS approved. This certification ensures that they adhere to the necessary quality control procedures required to produce and sell grain off the farm. For our grain growers, the goal is clear: better quality grain results in greater rewards. Farmers supplying low moisture, high bushel-weight grain receive bonuses added to base prices through a structured grain-pricing grid.

Additionally, we offer a forward selling mechanism for farmers who wish to mitigate the risk of selling their produce during a single period of the year, such as harvest time. Throughout the year, farmers can contact our sales professionals to inquire about the market price for "green" or "dry" harvest grain. If the price meets their expectations, they can agree to sell a portion of their grain to us at the current price, with delivery upon harvest. This provides flexibility and financial planning options for our farmers.
