Want to know a little more about ForFarmersDo you ever stop to wonder where your Sunday morning poached egg came from Or the milk in your caf latte Or what about the sausage and bacon served with full English It will come as no surprise to you that the animals which produce these products needto eat themselves too. And thats where ForFarmers comes into the equation.ForFarmers produces feed for cattle, pigs and poultry in both conventional and organic livestock farming. And that probably sounds a great deal simpler than it actually is. Make no mistake: an awful lot of knowledge, research and innovation has gone intoone of those seemingly simple-looking chunks of animal feed. And these are the kind of things we, as a company, invest a great deal in.
